RE: [jboske] ta'e/na'o




la and cusku di'e


Accordingly, I would
suggest that {na'o} covers both time and space, as in 'birds typically
fly':
ro da na'o ga na cipni gi vofli
ro cipni na'o vofli

Is this meant to be {na'o ku ro cipni cu vofli} or {ro cipni na'o ku vofli}? Can we say {le vi cipni na'o ku vofli}?

This has the useful consequence of dealing with those lions in
Africa cases:
ro cinfo na'o xabju le friko

I'm not sure I see it. I'd like to see an example of {na'o} with individuals before I can understand what it means with the quantification. What would it mean to say {la djan na'o xabju le friko}?

In summary:
ta'e = recurrently
na'o = typically/generally in the world
so'e roi = usually1
so'e mu'ei = usually2

I think I understand "recurrently", but I'm still not clear about "typically/generally in the world" when applied to particular sumti.

mu'o mi'e xorxes
