Re: old gismu comments



The Seraphim surely rejoiced when Logical Language Group spoke thus:

}>i don't think i can argue for this convincingly, but i'd like the x2 of
}>traji to be the current x4 of traji, by symmetry with zmadu
}traji is much more related to mutce and milxe, than to zmadu

Hm. I think this another case of semantic drift; in any case, I was under
the impression that the new gihuste, with places revised by John, actually
contains a revised traji. It still intuits to me that the set is more
important than the quality in traji, rather than milxe, and I have a vested
interest in having traji symmetrical with zmadu (it makes the place structure
of superlatives, whether lujvo or expanded, parallel that of comparatives).
None the less, if you're convinced this new place structure is wrong, I can't
offer any more convincing arguments against reverting to the original.
