John Cowan's view on reification



My view on Lojban's view of reification:

Everything that a sumti refers to, not within the scope of a negation, is
reified.  That includes abstract le nu/lo nu things, le'e things, lo'e things,
and the works.  You may perhaps find an exception to this general principle,
but I can probably explain it away.

Ya happy now, rlpowell?

fishes, for a poor creature, and they say death.  So wise they are; so just,
so very just."  --Gollum        jcowan@reutershealth.com  www.ccil.org/~cowan
