[lojban] Question regarding {cu'e}
"modal ? cu'e is a tense/modal question (meaning it takes the place of a
fully-specified modal/tense). Specifically, it turns the entire bridi
into a question, and requests that the listener provide a tense/modal as
an answer.The tense/modal response fills the place where cu'e was in the original
bridi and the resulting bridi is the answer offered to the question. To indicate that there is no value that could make that bridi true, use
{unknown}. A more extreme rejection of the presuppositions or
implicatures involved in a question is to reply with {unknown}."
What are the appropriate {unknown}s?
