What is the difference? If x has the property of 'ka ce'u daplu' to
degree .8, then 'xy. daplu' is true to degree .8, just as 'xy. ckaji
le ka ce'u daplu' is.
Since I did not think of lo ka ce'u daplu as singular, but rather a mass or enumeration of the usually-multiple qualities that something needs in order to fit in the x1 of daplu, it doesn't seem to make sense to "be characterized by .8 of a property". Certainly it is possible to redefine the language to fit one theory or a nother, but that isn't the way I used it, nothing more or less.
