The individuals in simxu1 do simxu2 to each other. The only difference is that instead of saying "the members of set x1 reciprocally (do) x2" you have the individuals in simxu1 do it directly. There is really no use for sets in such cases, it's just a waste of time and makes things unnecessarily inconvenient. mu'o mi'e la selpa'i -- .i pau mi me ma .i pa mai ko mi jungau la'e di'u .i ba bo mi va'o lo nu nelci lo nu me ma kau cu barkla .i va'o lo nu na nelci cu denpa ti lo nu mi drata -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
