Really, we can say that "the dog is man's best friend" only if MOST OF DOGS are man's best friends. Or the same {lo gerku} can be replaced here by "a typical dog" without changes in meaning, I think. So, are "most of ..." and "a typical ..." correct substitution for {lo}? If "Yes", can this interpretation be used always? By the way in English sentence "The" has been used and in lojban {lo}. Why? What happens with "the <-> le", "an/a <-> lo" correspondence? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
