Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: {gi'e} and overlapping arrays
So, {da crino gi'e xunre} doesn't mean "something is both green and
red", but "something is green and something is red"? I can't say that
I like it. How can I say it to mean the former? Not using {je},
because it binds possible further arguments, like {da dunda je lebna}
implies that someone gives and takes the same thing to and from the
same person (unless I'm mistaken).
