Oops... Thank you for pointing it to me.

Oops again. I mistook /na/, at the location I put it, for a
traditional-grammar-predicate negator, while it's a whole bridi negator.

But can't /lo prenu na fuzme.../ also mean "Some people are not responsible
for...", thus leaving away the generality? Does /lo remna cu mabru/ mean
"Any human is a mammal", or "Some humans are mammals"?

Yes, this is the paradox I meant. It leads to the various meanings of
'responsability'. Should /fuzme/ hold both the pragmatic responsability or
control over oneself, and the moral or social responsability for one's actions?
