Most people seem to believe this, but I think that talking about reified
relations is as common as talking about reified properties. Marriage, e.g.,
is ka ce'u speni ce'uxire, and brotherhood similarly. That is why I
originally proposed ce'uda for current ce'u and ce'ude for current ce'uxire,
but was shouted down at the time (IIRC). Had we adopted that, then co13y [1]
in lambda variables would reduce to co13y of ordinary variables.
