The sum of what I nonerroneously know about Lojban is a subset of what xorxes knows: he knows best what problems there are, what the solutions should be, and what alterations or augmentations to CLL are needed. As for my particular point about the ambiguity of "na ku a bu e by e cy cu broda", pycyn and xorxes both have since pointed out that in actual fact the left-to-right scoping principle has always been there, in what folk know, (as pycyn says it has) (even if it didn't get stated in CLL, which I'm not sure about). As xorxes says in one of his other messages, the BPFK need to make official the scope rule for elements not in the same bridi, and to abolish the irregular scope rule for selbri tcita "na" (which is in CLL). --And. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
