=A0I don't know on what basis you say that. I think perhaps you = are
thinking about it as a natlang speaker. =A0Xorlo or not, when you put
something in the x3 of bavlamdei, for example, it is _by definition_

is -- it's a ctufau manri. =A0I could explicitly _say_ "lo ctufau<= br> manri", but it's not necessary, and more than it's necessary, = when

Doesn't make it any less of a dog, you're just calling out the sali= ent
feature you want to express, that it's big. =A0Describing a te bavlamde= i
as a ctufau doesn't make it any less of a te bavlamdei.

=A0I'm probably not expressing myself reall well, but I hope my point<= br> is getting across. =A0(Perhaps it would make more sense if I used a more analgous sentence, like "mi cadzu lo clani"?)
