Well hey, that was only my guess at how you'd use the lujvo to say But I told you how I would use it the first time. Why {ro mamta}, is there more than one? If so, how is this a function? Otherwise you are getting around to my usage, which is, after all, just the antural one. Why make weird problems? <If you're talking about the value rather than the function, then I'd have thought ordinary bogstandard "LE mamta be ko'a" does the job.> But I want to talk about the course of values, if you will, and so I used the natural extension of that standard to get away from one individual to a range of individuals: {le mamta be ce'u}. Thanks for the support. |
