[lojban] Re: xorlo



Ancient theological dispute: do the natural numbers start with 0 or 1.  Followed by the question of whether the unsubscripted variables are outside the ordering or short for the first tier. I actually start with daxino, which tells you I learned my arithemetic at UCLA in the 60s.

daxire etc.

Is "daxipa" distinct from "da"? I would think so, but you started with "daxire", and I don't know why.
