I wish Lojban had a generic word for a specific sumti, meaning {le
co'e}. I guess {le co'e ku} is okay (the terminator is often needed),
but it just seems weird to have all these words with specificity
implied, but no generic one.
We have {le}, {la}, {ti}, {ta}, {tu}, {ri}, {ra}, {ru}, {ko'a},
{ko'e}, {ko'i}, {ko'o}, {ko'u}, {fo'a}, {fo'e}, {fo'i}, {fo'o},
{fo'u}, {dei}, {di'e}, {di'u}, {da'e}, {da'u}, {de'e}, {de'u}, {go'a},
{go'e}, {go'i}, {go'o}, {go'u}, and I guess probably others.
So we can allocate all these specific words with implied specificity,
but we can't have a generic one with implied specificity.
Like I said, it just seems weird.
