Re: [lojban] selbri lo TAG sumti

[Michael Turniansky <mturniansky@gmail.com>]

  I guess, if I am reading you correctly, you can certainly do that.
But it's really not all that complicated.  Take these examples from
the CLL:
le ratcu cu citka le cirla
        vi le vu panka
    The rat eats the cheese
        [short distance] the [long distance] park
    The rat eats the cheese near the faraway park.
(10.12.4)

 lo ca nolraitru
        be le fasygu'e cu na krecau
    The-actual present noblest-governor
        of the French country [false] is-hair-without.
    The current king of France isn't bald.
(15.2.6)

  "lo TAG sumti" means nothing more or less like any other sumti, "X
du lo broda" -> "X broda"  "X du lo TAG broda" -> "X TAG broda"  The
tag (selbri tcita) comes along ("tags along" :-) with the selbri.  So
when you say "mi bai klama ti", you have no problem with that, right?
"I was forced to come here".  So you are a "forced-to-come" thing,
with destination here.  So when I say "lo bai klama cu tordu", it just
means the "forced-to-come thing" is short.
