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.
