Re: [lojban] Any
la greg cusku di'e
I have two possible solutions to the problem of saying:
"I need a doctor" (ie any doctor will do)
(1){mi nitcu lu'a lo'i mikce}
The way I understand {lu'a}, {lu'a lo'i mikce} is equivalent
to {lo mikce}. Both are "at least one member of the set of
all doctors". But I won't claim that {lu'a} has such a well
established definition as {lo}. There are different
understandings of how LAhEs work and they've never been fully
clarified.
or
(2){lo se nitcu be mi cu mikce}
[...]
(2) arises from another concern. I'm wondering whether it would work
differently if da is scoped as being a {se nitcu}. It only works if the
following are not equivalent:
mi nitcu da poi mikce
da poi se nitcu be mi cu mikce
da se nitcu be mi gi'e mikce
Those are all equivalent. In logical terms, they all
reduce to Ex:N(mi,x)&M(x)
where N(,) is nitcu and M() is mikce.
