I have a question concerning the use of states as standards. In the Berenstain Bears and the Prize Pumpkin, we have the following exchange:
{.i pycy cusku lu .ieru'e .oiru'e ku'i by puza klama ti gi'e cusku lu lo melbi ba'e cmalu u'i bo guzmrkukurbita bo purdi cu se ponse do doi paf li'u li'u
.i lu do'i jetnu jufra .i sa'e do'i jetnu lo za'i karbi fi le so'i guzme purdi pe by li'u se cusku ko'e}
The last sentence was originally: 'Especially compared to his his fields of pumpkins.
The X2 in {jetnu} should be a standard/epistemology/metaphysics. Can the {lo za'i} abstraction be used here as the standard of comparison?
