<shrug>  I don't like type-4.  I *especially* don't like type-4 when
the concept is trivially expressible with a lujvo (in this case
cesru'i or cesycrida, take your pick).

And I had no idea it was valid.  My internal Lojban recognizer
screamed at the sight of it (a comment Bob has also often made), and
cmafihe choked on it.
