1) there are four explicitly disallowed triples -- ndj'', ``ndz'',
``ntc'', and ``nts” (CLL, chapter 3, just above last paragraph of section
7) 2) It is my second guess. It operates like “.e” ,
simultaneously making the claim about both items in that slot (CLL chapter 9,
example 3.9)
--gejyspa, sevzi tavla From:
lojban-beginners-bounce@lojban.org [mailto:lojban-beginners-bounce@lojban.org] On Behalf Of Turniansky, Michael 1) I note that just as lojban disallows certain CC
combinations (such as “mz”) for fear they will be misheard, TLI
Loglan disallows certain triples (like “ndj” which might be confused
as “nj”) Does lojban have any such forbidden triples? I
see none such in the CRG, but don’t know if the BPFK has done anything on
this. 2) An utterance of the form “le broda cu le
brode fe le brodi” or even “le broda cu fe le brode fe le
brodi” is grammatically acceptable, but does it have any meaning?
As I see it, there are three possibilities: One) it is non-meaningful,
and clearly and error; two) It implies some type of logical or non-logical
connection between the argument, equivalent to “le broda cu
fe brode JE/JOI brodi” (and probably specifically je or joi); or
three) brodi replaces brode entirely. Has this been discussed/resolved?
Thanks in advance,
