Re: [lojban-beginners] Tanru-internal connectives, place structure, non-sense

    Simple... the compound selbri "sutra je jipci" doesn't HAVE an x2 place (but it does have both an s2 and j2 place which have to be internally linked with be), similar to the way that a lujvo may not have all the places that the underlying veljvo seltau jonai tertau have.  

       I don't know why this is a such a problem for you.  This is as specious as saying you can never have a heterosexual woman President of the United States, since then the phrase "first lady" would have no meaning.

But if there is nothing that can ever potentially fill the x2 of that sentence, how can it be sensible?
