Re: [lojban] A serious but ungeneralized new attempt on Q-kau

That's my feeling too. We need to be formalizing a makauless
"set-of-answers" or equivalent.

I'm thinking of something like 

 da zo'u 
 ...  lo du'u da du the-extension-of lo du'u ce'u klama kei kei poi jetnu

 da zo'u 
 ...  lo du'u da du the-extension-of lo du'u ce'u prami ce'u kei kei poi jetnu

But I haven't thought through how this works for the dinner/friedge case.

I realize people (pc) replied to that original proposal & I haven't answered those replies yet. But the new academic year is beginning.

Unless x and z can take the value "noda", and I think you don't
intend it that way, that doesn't work.

The set of answers, {lo'i nu mi ba citka makau}, is not
logically related to the set of things I will/may have for
dinner {lo'i ba se citka be mi}. At least there is no
straightforward relationship. Trying to reduce makau in
terms of the latter set, I don't think it will work.
