To a certain extent, a free variable could be identified with {zo'e} in

Minor tangential nitpick: I don't think {zo'e} would do as a free variable
in any of its modes. I think the only things that can be free variables
in Lojban are {ke'a} and {ce'u}. {ke'a broda} and {ce'u broda} are well
formed formulas, but not sentences. They can only be interpreted when
bound by {poi}/{noi} or {ka} respectively.
"Domain" is standard, but yes it is odd, since for most interesting
diecussions it is the range.
Could it be that in some models it is the domain of the function that
interprets a predicate?
