No default quantifiers.
Hello.
In the Lojban-Wiki I have found the following:
There are no default quantifiers. At all. For example,
the default outer quantifier of "lo" used to be
"su'o", which means "at least one", but that is no
longer the case. "lo cribe" could be one, or a
billion, or none.
I do not understand what for the default quantifier
{su'o} has been removed. Now if I say {lo cribe cu
danlu} I say nothing. Because this expression is
always true. If only one bear is animal it is true, if
none bear is animal it is also true, if there are
arbitrary number of bears which are animals it is also
true. So, I get no information from {lo cribe cu
danlu}, i. e. this sentence contains no information.
