[lojban] Re: Logical connectives

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

I still consider myself fairly new, but I'll take a stab at these.

I'm not sure what you mean by {cutka} but yes {ti .a ta} is a single sumti

I don't think they {kei} are elidable since you could say something like {mi gleki le nu mi citka lo plise [kei1] .e lo perli [kei2]}
depending on which of those {kei} I choose to use I may be saying "I am happy about eating apples ... and something to do with a pear" or I might be saying "I am happy about eating apples and pears".  So I don't think {kei} is elidable in this situation.  But I could be wrong, the default may be the [kei2] in which case it's elidable if you really intend {lo perli} to be inside the abstraction with {lo plise}.

Does that sound about right?

Hi there, I've a couple of questions on logical connectives (well, I
actually would have more but I'll save the others for another time :)
).

Is it correct to say that when using logical connectives like in: {mi
cutka ti .a  ta} , {ti .a ta} is a single sumti?

Also, if I had abstractions {le nu ... kei .e le nu ... kei .e le nu
... kei} are the {kei} elidable?
