Re: [lojban-beginners] Visual mem for pinxe on Memrise.



No it doesn't. It means that they are both participating in an act of drinking. lonu pinxe doesn't specify what is being drunk, and the recipricol-ness doesn't bleed into the event's internals.

simxu: x1 (set) has members who mutually/reciprocally x2 (event [x1 should be
reflexive in 1+ sumti]). So "lu'i re prenu cu simxu lo nu pinxe", if the two
people are Alice and Bob, means that Alice drinks Bob and Bob drinks Alice.
That's not what the drawing shows. It shows Alice and Bob both drinking from
one cup.
