If A = "lojban is fully defined." then "lojban is not A" means "lojban is not "lojban is fully defined."." Decide what A, B and C mean.In any case, this is what I meant:"It is not true that lojban is fully defined and that lojban is complete and that lojban is a functioning language."That *must* be equivalent to:"lojban is not fully defined, or lojban is not complete, or lojban is not a functioning language."
That still ignores the difference between contradictory negation and contrary negation, a difference that English pretty much cannot distinguish except with a lot of context and convention, while the distinction is fundamental in Lojban.
