But does my referring to 73 that way require that John also refer
to it that way in his belief? How about if I say:

   ko'a goi le tenfa be li 389017 bei li 1/3 zo'u
      la djan krici le du'u la bil nanca ko'a

Does {ko'a} carry with it the intension, or just the extension?

>Just ask him; he'll say "no."

But what should I ask him? And if he doesn't know what the referent
of {le tenfa be li 389017 bei li 1/3} is, shouldn't he rather
answer {le tenfa ku ki'a}?
