Re: [lojban-beginners] ko klama ma



The effects of {ko} and question-words on a bridi are fairly
orthogonal, and I don't see
why one should scope over another. {xu ko klama ma} is commanding the
listener to go,
asking whether or not he goes and asking whereto he goes. Both {xu} and {ko}
remove any declarative force from the bridi, so nothing is being asserted.

By a similar logic, from {do klama ma} we could get
  {mi xusra lo du'u do klama ma}
