Re: [lojban] quantifiers
la pycyn cusku di'e
I think that (ro lo su'o lo broda} collapses to {lo broda}
I agree. But on the other hand {ro lo su'o broda} is indeed
a universal with existential import: each of the at least one
broda that there are.
<(The book seems to think that lojban universal claims have
existential import, ch. 16, sec. 8 [p. 399])>
Why, so it does! I can't help feeling that this statement is contradicted
elsewhere in the relevant sense.
In the following section at least. The transformation
{naku roda} into {su'oda naku} does not work if {ro}
has existential import.
