[lojban] Re: xorlo

We do have many names for "lo", it is a word, it is a cmavo, it is a
gadri, etc, it is not a bunch. The issue of new entities comes about
when discussing what "lo jubme" for example refers to. My answer is
that it refers to tables, not to bunches or to a bunch. To refer to
bunches there are better words, such as "lo gunma", "lo girzu", "lo
selcmi", etc. Saying that "lo jubme" is "a bunch of tables", or
anything else besides "tables", only invites confusion, in my opinion

I fail to see almost any difference between "tables" and "a bunch of tables". Perhaps the only difference is that "bunch" contains a stronger implication of something uniting the tables together. In order to remove any doubts, lets call it a "plurality of tables".

Fellows, I'm afraid we are totally lost here, as far as xorlo is concerned. Where are the authority people? Where is xorxe himself?
