[lojban-beginners] Re: sumti before and after "composite" selbri
la filip cusku di'e
Is {la stelas. mi xendo gi'e prami} the same as {la stelas. xendo gi'e
prami mi}?
(It appears not; in the first case, {mi} is x2 of both {xendo} and
{prami}, in the second only of {prami}.)
Right. You can also say {la stelas xendo gi'e prami vau mi}, in
which case {mi} is x2 of both again.
Is {la stelas. mi xendo je prami} the same as {la stelas. xendo je
prami mi}?
Yes.
(It appears so -- that {mi} is x2 of both {xendo} and {prami},
regardless of the order.)
Actually, it is x2 of {prami} in both cases. There is no clear
rule for how the places of {broda} affect {broda je brode}.
For example, in {ko'a tavla je bajra} I would not expect the x2
of {tavla} to be the same as the x2 of {bajra}.
What is the difference between the sentence with {gi'e} and the
sentence with {je}?
The sentence with {gi'e} is clear. The one with {je} is not
so clear.
What are the forethought versions? Is it {la stelas mi ge xendo gi
prami} for the version with {gi'e} and {la stelas mi gu'e xendo gi
prami} for the version with {je}?
Yes.
