Re: [lojban-beginners] Implied {ko}

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

technically, no.  In the CLL it says that a selbri on it's own is an observative.  So {sisti} could be translated as "someone is stopping" in a way similar to when people say "car!".

That being said, if leaving a space out implies {zo'e} and {zo'e} can be replaced by anything, I wonder why you can't let context decide that {sisti} -> {zo'e sisti} -> {ko sisti}.

Simply asked, can a statement like {sisti} be used to mean {ko sisti}?

I see no reason why not, as long as the speaker acknowledges that the listener may be able to (depending on the situation) infer other valid meanings.
