{me mi co'e}, while a kludge on a kludge, does work in all respects -- except
for being a highly abstract formation for a basic and concrete notion. I still have a problem with {me...moi}, while liking the effect of the {me...MOI} construction generally (snowballs in Hell, surprising values, and the like) -- though without {me}, which still does not fit grammatically for all the kludging. The problem is that {moi} is for ordinals and ordinals require order (well- indeed, but partial, giving ranks rather than absolute positions, would be OK) and simple indexing does not give order of any sort. To be sure, every set can be well-ordered (given Choice) but finding the rule -- as {moi} requests -- is not always easy or even feasible. |
