Re: [lojban] mo



Strictly speaking, {mo} is a *bridi*  question and picks up selbri and brivla
as degenerate cases (the most common, perhaps, as often in weird little
societies like Lojbnaistan).  Thus viewed, {mo mo} don't make no mo' sense,
as does not two bridi run together without a connective.  
That said (look Ma, and ablative absolute!), one might argue that {mo mo}
does have a real use in the language, perhaps to indicate how specific and
answer is expected -- with three, or even five, levels of specification.  But
that is strictly an idiom, though a reasonably clear one in the circumstances.
