A set of people cannot carry a log, a mass of people can.
The question is, can a sequence of people carry a log?
It is a reasonable question, because Lojban provides articles
for sets and for masses, but not for sequences, so sequences
will have to be a subtype of one of those. I have thought
until now that the way to refer to a sequence of cats was
as {le'i mlatu}, but it would be very nice if I was wrong
and the right way is to use {lei mlatu}. Or are you saying
that we have no way in Lojban to refer to a sequence of cats
directly?
{le porsi fi le' mlatu} I suppose and the gismu list seems to think that a sequence is a set. Which makes concatenation kind of hard. I think this needs some work when we get around to actually needing it. We can work around it now. It seems odd that {klesi} is a set, though it certainly is a sequence of letters.
