[lojban-beginners] [brivla + brivla] and [brivla + KOhA]

["Vid Sintef" <picos.picos@gmail.com>]

Some pretty much basic questions.

I forgot how the following expression is unambiguous:

{ le puzi culno ca kunti }

The given translation is "The one full just a little time ago is now
empty", so it is meant to be a complete bridi consisting of the sumti
{ le puzi culno } and the selbri { ca kunti }. But is it not also
possible that the two brivla { culno } and { kunti } make up one
sumti, meaning "the full-just-a-little-time-ago-kind-of now-empty
one"?

Similarly:

{ ko zbasu lo cnino [ku] ti } (Make a new one from this.)

{ ko zbasu lo cnino ti [ku] } (Make a new kind of this one.)

The two expressions are identical in appearance, which I think is the
case with every instance of the sequence "descriptor + brivla + KOhA".
And people almost always elide the delimier { ku } before KOhA. If it
is that KOhA cannot join a brivla to form some tanru-like unit like
the one above, why such other sumti constructs like { le mi zdani } is
valid?
