Right, because la and le are always the name/description according to the speaker. So {la kikeron du la tulius} means "the one I call 'Cicero' is also the one I call 'Tully'", but {la djan na krici lo du'u la kikeron du la tulius} means "Of the one I call both 'Cicero' and 'Tully', John does not believe it is self-identical", which is not what we want to say. Perhaps we can say: {la djan na krici lo du'u lu'e zo kikeron du lu'e zo tulius}, "John does not believe that the referent of 'Cicero' is also the referent of 'Tully'", assuming the brivla behind {lu'e} is within the scope of John's belief. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
