Then I don't understand the distinction you want to make between "ro da xebni mi" and "ro prenu cu xebni mi". Sure, the second one is more restricted than the first, but only a little bit. They are both just as nonsensical if taken to extremes, since someone who says "everyone hates me" usually doesn't mean to say that they hate themselves any more than they mean to say that the kitchen sink hates them. > (Unless I'm misunderstanding your > question).=A0 My problem is using a universal bindable variable without > binding it, and then claiming it's something less than universal. Take this sentence from "le la BERenstein. cribe .e. le jinga guzmrkukurbit= a": .i .iecai bybycy ca'o ba'e banro .i ri ru'i zenba le ka barda e le ka bolci e le ka narju fi'o temci ro djedi (I think it needs a "kei" after "narju".) Does it mean that bybycy was growing even before it existed, for example, and will keep growing when it no longer exists, or is "every day" restricted to relevant days? mu'o mi'e xorxes --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= Lojban Beginners" group.
