Thanks.

I am currently flipping through the reference grammar, and I just got
another question: in Chapter 6 this example is given:

	13.3)	ro da poi prenu cu prami pa de poi finpe
		All somethings-1 which-are persons love one something-2
		    which-is a-fish.
		All persons love a fish (each his/her own).

	(This is not the same as "All persons love a certain fish"; the
	difference between the two is one of quantifier order.)

If I change the above Lojban sentence to {pa de poi finpe cu se prami ro da
poi prenu}, will the new sentence take on the first or second meaning? In
other words, can the use of the word {se} potentially _change_ the meaning
of a sentence, in addition to switching sumti order?

Thanks,
