Re: [lojban-beginners] preti: sequential naming for long-term reference

[Michael Turniansky <mturniansky@gmail.com>]

  No,. no no.  That doesn't work.  "le pa pluta" ONLY means "the one
route"  "le (or lo)  pamoi pluta" is the correct one to use.  Don't
forget that moi contains within it an x2 that says exactly what set it
is the nth of (e.g."the stuff I'm writing down") and an x3 that says
how you are ordering it (e.g. "chronologically by the time/date I'm
writing them down)  You can leave them out of course, if context makes
it obvious, which in this case it certainly does.
