Re: [lojban-beginners] Question about tense



  Well, the way I would interpret that sentence is "I will be having started to run, for a long time" That is to say, I interpret it as mi ba ze'u (pu (co'a bajra)).   See for example 10.3.16  That is, I would interpret all tenses as going outward from the selbri.  But reasonable people may disagree with me.  And so may unreasonable ones.  I live it up to you to interpret which category the toltu'i be mi  are in.

What is the proper interpretation of the sentence {mi baze'upu co'a bajra}?

1. That the "start running-predicate" takes place through the whole intervall, which probably means that the start running intervall is a part of some other unspecified intervall.

or

2. That I start running in the beginning of the intervall {baze'upu}.

or something else?


I couldn't figure this out by reading CLL or BPFK sections, so please help!
