#"We more or less
#understand what {makau broda} means as a subordinate clause, but
#in Lojban it is also grammatical as a free floating clause. Is
#there a possible generlization of the meaning so as to cover this
#case, or are we forced to declare it nonsense?"
As I just said in a message of 2 minutes ago, you need to ask the
same question about ce'u.
Ok, but the answer may not be the same. {kau} takes us from an
incomplete bridi to an unspecified completion. {ce'u} takes us
from an incomplete bridi to a property _of something_. I don't
know what to do with a dangling property, but I do know what to
do with a dangling unspecified completion of an incomplete bridi.
I wouldn't know what to do with a floating ke'a-clause either.
