ru'a A sutra bajra klama cei broda B .i xu le ka ce'u sutra bajra ku goi Given that we have three conflicting ideas (at least) about the role of {ka}, this manages to be pretty unclear. On the assumption that {ka} is here being used for a property of things, {du'u ... ce'u...}, for clarity, and that {cei} takes in the whole selbri as its pre-scope, I'd have to agree. The property "running fast" is not the property "going running fast" or even the property of someone's going running fast (not sure about {ce'u}less {ka} in this context). But I don't think it is the property "going running fast" either. It might be the property of someone's going, however. Using Lojbab's view of {ka} le du'u ce'u sutra bajra cu ka A klama B, i.e., le nu A klama B cu nu sutra bajra or le nu A klama B cu ckaji le du'u ce'u sutra bajra. This last is clearly not quite right, since,as xorxes notes, Lojban is terrible at predicate adverbs. I feel relatively better about le du'u ce'u cilce ka mi prami do. |
