Re: [lojban] {lo'i} as a Q-kau solution?




la djan cusku di'e

John wrote this book. Paul doesn't know that,
but Paul does know John.

Does Paul know who wrote this book? No.
Does Paul know this book's writer? Yes.

This example is no good, for it equivocates on "know":
the second "know" is slabu.

Which shows that "who wrote this book" refers to a fact
while "this book's writer" refers to a person.
