It is even more silly, I agree, but can you really say that "your promise
is silly" means:

"Your promise, i.e. promising to jump of the cliff, and then actually
doing it, is silly."

My problem is not to evaluate what English statement "You promise is
silly" means. I am not a fluent English speaker and probably do not
catch such a subtleties. In Russian language all three meanings are
possible. My problem is how to express this last meaning in Lojban, as
short as possible.
