I find this=20 problematic, as tanru are by their very nature ad-hoc, and figuring out=20 such eliminated places on the fly is likely impossible (assuming for a=20 second that it's sensible). If you say it has no x2, then I assume you would say that in: mi klama je sutra lo tricu {lo tricu} actually fills klama3 and it fills neither klama2 nor=20 sutra2. How can this be practically used? In which case it would mean: mi klama je sutra lo tricu "I go [and-am-fast] from the tree." Is this not weird? > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0I don't know why this is a such a problem for you. =A0 Apart from the aforementioned practical problems your idea presents, I=20 think it's also strange for places to disappear from a *tanru*. In my=20 opinion, when you join two things with {je} (in this case the sumti=20 places), then you claim that they both apply, not that the places=20 disappear when nothing can satisfy the claim. It seems somewhat=20 backwards. mu'o mi'e la selpa'i --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= Lojban Beginners" group.
