That aside you acknowledged the correctness -- within Lojban of the importing system. Your {ro} is just {ro ni'u}, which is rarely useful and on those occasions is easily reached by falling back to standard Logic notation (your claim that ordinary {ro} can be reached in the same way from {ro ni'u} is true, but hardly an efficient suggestion. Of course, we still disagree about whether "every" -- you probably say "all" -- really has existential import.) << So for you {ga broda ginai broda} can be false for selected broda? For me it's a tautology. >> I'm not sure that I understand this, but I suppose you mean {lo brode ga broda ginai brode} can be false. Yes, it can, if there are no brode. But, note, {naku le brode ga broda ginai brode} is false as well, so tautological status is not affected -- the sentence is merely ill-formed at a low level.
