>From my previous post:

        roda is our notation for the universal quantifier used in
        connection with the variable x.   It is to be
        read then as "for every object x".

        roda zo'u tu'e da tanxe inaja mi nitcu da

        says "for every object x such that x is a box, it is implied
        that I want that object." That object is one box and I want
        it.  Which one is not specified. There is no implication that a
        box search is underway so that there is a recursive collection
        formed of all boxes. You wouldn't do this with your statement.
        I think that my statement can fairly be said to express your
        statement:  " I want any box whatsoever."

Jorge;
     I do need to know whether or not you agree with the above. Have I
expressed the idea of "I want any box whatsoever" to your satisfaction
with my statement "roda  zo'u..etc." or not?  I'm beginning to feel like
we are caught in a Wharfian warp.
I'm off for vacation now.
