Because of the syntax or of the semantics? In other words, if instead of lo broda ku le broda ku loi broda ku lei broda ku Lojban had for example: lo broda ku lo broda ki lo broda kau lo broda kai so that the semantic component of the gadri was given by the terminator, would it make more sense to have the initiator as the head? I don't know if X-bar allows the head and the complement to be infixed/circumfixed to each other, but if it does then I think LE.../KU/ should be considered as one element and the inner selbri as the other element. mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
