For It is special: it is part of the logic, not part of the content. {lo du be ko'a} is weird because prolix; it just means {ko'a}. {du} doesn't get used in lujvo and tanru much for the same reason, it tends to drop out. Presumably there is {nardu'o} "is numerically different from" and some technical terms in mathematics ("identity relation" and the like). But even that is more than most gismu have so far (ignoring sel- and ter- forms). |
