Yes, that might be to {lo'ei} as {poi'i} is to {lo}. Would you say
{poi'i} is cleaner than {lo}? Maybe, but I'd still want the gadri
form.
Goes to wiki.
Oh. OK, i am catching 3 up months later.
Um.
What *is* the difference between Jordan's ka'ai and And's poi'i? And
between ka'ai and seka? And why do I feel I'm running in circles?
That's one. Two: Jorge, why do you want a gadri? Because the thing
satisfying the intension is an individual? The thing satisfying the
lambda expression is, yes; but the search itself takes the lambda
expression as basic. Now it's my turn to be essentialist: why gadri?
----
What is this shit though, I have to ask. One week, we're working out
lo'e. The next week, because Jorge says "but surely loi is only a
collective", we're onto masses. This week, because Jordan said "or
whatever Jorge's intensionals are", we're onto intensionals. And we've
ended up resolving jack of any of these.
And when I try to say noooo, let's not go there yet, Jorge says "you're
funny". My fault for answering in the first place, of course...
