[lojban] ta'o/ta'onai & metaphor

[BestATN@aol.com]

lojbab responded:

>>i don't believe that "ta'o" has to be built on a metaphor.  let its literal meaning be >>simply "resuming the main point".

>ta'o is "by the way" (or "DEVIATING from the main point")
>ta'onai is "resuming the main point"

thanks for the correction.  it doesn't change my point, though, that the cmavo need not be based on a metaphor.
