It says "do/be" because those two are the same thing in Lojban. There i= s=20
no to be or to do. That is, there is no difference between "I am a man"=  
{mi nanmu }and "I [do] walk" {mi cadzu}. It's always just an argument= =20
(sumti) filling a place of a predicate (selbri). You still need an=20
abstraction for kakne. {mi kakne lo ka/nu tavla} means both "I can be a= =20
talker" and "I can talk".
