This makes things even more strange.Now tell me what is the difference between"lo mi gerku cu xamgu" and "lo me mi gerku cu xamgu" ?
The first one is translated as
"lo any/some mi gerku dog(s) [of] I, me)2 cu is/does «3xamgu being good»3]1"and the second one as
"lo any/some (3me amongst those that are mi I, me [type-of] gerku dog(s))3)2 cu is/does «4xamgu being good»4]1"
Yes, "lo mi gerku" meaning "my dog" is quite handy, but why it breaks the logic of anything learnt before ?mi gerku means "I'm a dog" and when it is used as a sumti in the phrase<lo mi gerku cu xamgu>it must mean <"I'm a dog" is good> whatever that means."me mi gerku" (my dog) has much more sense as it clear resembles "prenu gerku" (person's dog).I feel that the "rule" of transforming "I am" into "mine" when adding "lo" is absolutely alien to other lojbanic rules.To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msg/lojban-beginners/-/U_CQyzqFZUUJ.

It is possible as Jorge Llambías explained, with "me <sumti>" which is a conversion to the selbri "x1 is <sumti>".
