any, opaque, transparent, xe'e...

Just a moment, and let me check if my understanding is correct...
Doesn't it say that onlspacetime interval? Like, {mi citka lo pa plise be vi le
vi jumbe pagbu}?
And one other thing... About the opaque/transparent thing... I have been
listening to the discussion for about a month (or more?), and I basically
know what is wrong with "any", but I can't figure out what in fact do
"opaque" andate, but my mind
usually just skips over these words, not being able to parse them.
And, some definition of {xe'e} a bit more clear than
> Not my {xe'e}. The way I'd define it is something like: "Potentially everyone

I think I got that it means one and just one arbitrarily chosen from whole
set (if used with default {lo} quantifiers), but I can't fathom the meaning
of "none fits the predication in actuality".
Thanks, and
co'o mi'e. goran.
