Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: lojbanic coffee mug



ahh, see I was going for "the ieskos cup.  contains black hot and tasty" since the main text implies that we're talking about the cup.

Wait, so if I say {mi citka lo plise ne'i lo zdani} I am saying that "I eat an apple inside the house".  So then if I say "lo kabri ne'i lo xekri" I'm saying "the cup {co'e}s inside the black".  But I want to say "the cup {co'e}'s within which is the black".  It seems like that would be {sene'i} not {ne'i}.

Not with the current grammar, no, although it would be valid with:
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/Internal+grammar+of+tags

But in any case, here I would expect "ne'i" not "sene'i". The black
and hot and tasty is inside (someting), not containing (something).
