Re: [lojban] Re: what's a du'u?

really?  I thought {go'i} repeated the whole bridi.  I remember at one point this coming up on IRC and us coming to the conclusion that:

A:   do klama lo zarci

B:   go'i fa la djeims

essentially becomes {do jo'u la djeims klama lo zarci} where we weren't really sure whether {jo'u} would be that or {joi}/{je}/what

"go'i" represents the selbri of the preceding bridi, in this case
"klama". So responding "go'i" is like responding "klama". (The omitted
sumti are normally assumed to be the same as those of the preceding
bridi, but they need not be.

Same thing, it's like responding "klama".
