[lojban-beginners] Re: {gi'e} and overlapping arrays



So, {da crino gi'e xunre} doesn't mean "something is both green
andred", but "something is green and something is red"? I can't say
thatI 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
thesame person (unless I'm mistaken).
