Re: [lojban] Practical cooperation 1: "is intended to be"



From: "Robert J. Chassell" <bob@RATTLESNAKE.COM>

The problem with {terpla} is that the agent is a planner or designer.

The proposal is for an entity who *intends*, but who will not
necessarily carry out the intention into an act of being a planner or
designer.

We need to incorporate one of the cmavo that suggest `not yet', or
`not necessarily'.  such as {pu'o}, the `inchoative' event contour, or
perhaps {co'a}, the `initiative' event contour.


But it wasn't the plan but the execution that was incomplete:

da de narsmu na'ebo le cusku bezo'e.
