How could you tell which one was yours!" ;ta me mi moi:"That's mine." !!! Notes !!! Issues klaku: The moi3 is not very well defined. Is it a process by which to order? In that case, describing the process will lead to a very long sumti, which is not practical. I suggest that it is a {ka}, so that lo moi is ordered such that those with most of the property are before those with less of the property. Thus, "second in shortness" is {remoi fi loka tordu}, rather than something involving a description of an elobate process. {BOX} {BOX()} !! cmavo mei (MOI) !!!

CLL states 3 or four te sumti, this page's definition 2, and valsi/vlasisku states 3 te sumti. Also, it is not clear what mei3 is supposed to be. I suggest the other definitions be changed to match this one, with only 2 te sumti. {BOX} {BOX()} !! cmavo si'e (MOI) !!!

General Section Notes # The definition of __me__ corresponds to the basic relation __''Among''__ as formalized in the book ''Plural Predication'' (Oxford University Press, 2006) by [http://thecollege.syr.edu/profiles/pages/mckay-thomas.html|Thomas McKay], which also agrees with the definition as given in CLL. # The interpretation proposed for a ME-converted sumti with __moi__ is an extension of the definition for n-moi as n-th. # The second argument of __mei__ is changed with respect to CLL, to make it more useful and more in line with the rest of the system. _______________________________________________ Wikichanges mailing list Wikichanges@lojban.org http://mail.lojban.org/mailman/listinfo/wikichanges
