gadri paradigm: 2 excellent proposals
So here is what xorxes and I agree on:
set: lu'iro lu'ile lu'ila (=lo'i/le'i/la'i)
quantified: PA(ro) PAle PAla
substance: lu'oiro lu'oile lu'oila
collective: lu'oro lu'ole lu'ola (=(piro)loi/lei/lai)
'unique': lu'airo lu'aile lu'aila
Stuff still up in the air:
* Is a gadri for Prototypical (or Representative Imaginary, or
whatever) logically sound?
If it isn't, then lo'e/le'e are short for lu'airo/lu'aile.
If it is, then CLL compatibility might argue for lo'e/le'e as
the Prototypical.
* Is there any way to make any of the above a bit shorter?
* Is there any scope to fiddle with default interpretations
of bare gadri?
I propose, as the solution that would allow the greatest
economy in usage conditioned only by considerations of
meaning, that bare lo/le/la should be interpreted as if
preceded by lu'oiro.
That would then give the following table of shortest forms:
set: lo'i le'i la'i
quantified: PA PAle PAla
substance: lo le la
collective: loi lei lai
'unique': lu'airo (~lo'e) lu'airole (~ le'e) lu'aila
The default inner PA for bare lo/le/la would be tu'o. An overt
PA would change the interpretation from substance:
quantified: loPA = su'oloPA lePA = rolePA
substance: lo(tu'o) le(tu'o)
An indeterminable amount of prior usage would be invalidated,
but that is a small price to pay, because lo/le/la would at
last be assigned to a role where they would properly have highest
frequency.
No new gadri would be required. And just 2 new LAhE would be
required.
