<le du'u makau mamta ce'u cu fancu loi danlu loi fetsi [zi'o] Who their mothers are is a function from animals to females. But I suppose pc would disapprove>Indeed he would: fill in the places and what do you get: {le du'u la elizabefmamta la djan}, a proposition. So {la du'u makau mamta ce'u} is a function from a pair of things, the first female, the second any animal, to a proposition. Not what is wanted. And I don't see how anything that starts out {le du'u} is going to end up anywhere else.
Your assumption is that to refer to a function we must use something
that looks like one of its values. Is there a justification for that?
In my view {makau} stands for the value that the relationship gives
when the ce'u place is filled. {makau} will take a value from x3
for each value taken from x2 and placed in {ce'u}.
Why would its values be more representative of a function than the
relationship that gives rise to it?
