Re: [lojban-beginners] FA KU
I'm entirely with guskant on this one.

OK, from yacc point of view, I agree with you. From a semantic point
of view, however, FA KU should be an implicit expression of some
possible sumti. In fact, for other sumtcita like BAI or tense, the
usage of sumtcita means a vague expression (CLL9.9). Both modal-tense
and FA are mod_head_490 of yacc. They should have the same semantic
rule.
I agree. More than a year ago I suggested that {fi ku la .lojban. cu
tavla} be the same as {fo la .lojban. cu tavla}.
Why? Because FA are sumtcita/TAG, and the rule for TAG is this:
TAG broda == TAG ku broda == TAG zo'e broda
(semantically, not grammatically)
Mentioning a FA but not filling it is much like filling it with zo'e
explicitly, why else would you say {fi ku} in the first place?
