A couple of questions

[Chung-chieh Shan <ken@MATH.NTU.EDU.TW>]

As the subject promised... a couple of questions.

1) Is there any difference between "lo broda cu brode" and "da poi broda cu
   brode"?  If they are the same, the statement "lo [unicorn] cu brode"
   should be false, since noda cu [unicorn].

2) Has it occured to anyone that "needing" something might not imply "needing
   to have it"?  I might say in English, "I need a clean environment," yet
   I don't want to have (i.e., to possess) the clean environment.  Perhaps
   this is yet another argument for constraining the x2 place of {nitcu}
   to abstractions.

3) Does the sentence

     mi djuno ledu'u do djuno ledu'u makau blanu

   mean "I know you know what is blue" or "I know what you know to be blue"?
   Instinctively, the former should be correct, and the latter meaning can
   be expressed by

     mi djuno ledu'u do djuno ledu'u makauxire blanu

   Am I right?
