Re: [lojban] Re: Another classic




la nitcion cusku di'e

*Properly*, of course, di'u refers to the entire sentence, and the actual
referent here is only the embedded clause (le jai mu'i go'i!) I would
allow la'e di'u some latitude in interpretation, but if di'u doesn't mean the
entire sentence, then we've been mislead.

It doesn't necessarily mean the entire sentence, but you're right
that we had been misled at some point. Now the Book has set the
record straight, it's on page 149: "[...] the amount of speech or
written text referred to by any of these words [di'u et al] is
vague".
