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?

"We are lost, lost. No name, no business, no Precious, nothing. Only empty.
Only hungry: yes, we are hungry. A few little fishes, nassty bony little
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
