Re: [lojban] x2 of klesi

[John E Clifford <clifford-j@sbcglobal.net>]

Well it's tempting to read the palces of {klesi}
as genus, species and differens, but that is not
absolutely required: x1 might be definable
segment of any plurality or mass (in the usal
sense, not the Lojbanic).  Insofar then as {lo
birje} indicates eithe a bunch of helpings or the
mass of all beer (the first is likely, the second
less so),it is a suitable object to subdivide {la
bak cu klesi lomi birje} "I somtimes drink bock
beer"
