[lojban] Re: Duty, promice etc...



coi xorxes

Could you give examples where the English "promise" means anything
other than what is promised, {lo se nupre}?

What I really try to say is "You promise is silly". What does it mean?
"The action you are promised to do is silly"? "The event that you have
given a promise is silly"? "The event that you are keeping to fulfil
you promise is silly"? Nothing of this in particular and all of this
at once.
