[lojban-beginners] Re: mi kakne lo bajra



I would just like to contribute a bit here.

There is no implicit event-ness of the x2 of kakne, it's just that
it's required to make sense.
{.i mi kakne lo bajra} literally means something like "I am capable of
a runner.".
No sense is made.

So {lo bajra} is a runner. It is something which runs.
{lo nu bajra} is running (or "an event of being a runner"). It is the
actual event itself.
I am capable of an event of being a runner. {.i mi kakne lo nu bajra}

So... your meaning is strange.
Come bug us on IRC if you want to talk about it in real-time.
