[lojban] Re: A (rather long) discussion of {all}

["Maxim Katcharov" <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

I'm having trouble with:

lo ro mapku cu melbi gi'e ku'i du'e mei do'e lo nu mi bevri

I'm not well versed enough with {du'emei/do'e}, but here's my
understanding of it:

[lo ro mapku]* [cu melbi] gi'e ku'i []* [du'emei] [do'e lo nu mi bevri]

so {lo ro mapku} is melbi and du'emei...

du'emei = x1 is a set with too many members x2

x1 being {lo ro mapku}
x3 that is added being {do'e lo nu mi bevri}, which seems to be {bevri
pe numi} "a carrier related to the event of me".

am I confused? Yes.
