Re: [lojban] Re: lojban ills: implicit emphasis

Hoops!  C converts <abc> into <acb>, not <bac>,
so {se} is fairly complex too.  C is Lojban's
(never used) {setese}.

Yes, you're right; I was thinking of the normalized predicate-logic rather than syntactic-string representation of Lojban semantics ;)  [although I failed to say so -- oops]
 
E.g.,
 
mi tavla do
 
is equivalent to the predicate logic formula
 
(tavla) (mi) (do)
 
(using combinatory-logic curried notation) which is equivalent to
 
(C tavla) (do) (mi)
 
using the C combinator.
 
Using combinators on the syntactic-string representation of Lojban is a bit screwy because of the arbitrariness of the placement of the predicate in the argument list according to Lojban syntax.
