Re: [jboske] Needed boxes (was: lo'ie != lo'ei)

It definitely doesn't do "any". I think "loi" probably can
though---the "sundry unattached body parts" objections people have
raised don't break it because of grice. "I need any white horse"
== "mi nitcu loi blabi xirma".


The objections to {loi} for this function are not about body
parts. {loi} works just like {lo} for the purposes of intension.
{mi nitcu loi blabi xirma} means "there is some fraction of the
mass of all white horses such that I need that fraction". That
the fractions may be made up of whole horses or not is not
relevant to the objection.

You may be reading {loi} as the Unique of fractions though,
which is consistent with some parts of CLL. In that case, it
works, because Unique does work here.
