My original question, which I'm afraid did develop into a tangled mess of confusion though I had specifically hoped it wouldn't, was in short whether (i) post-xorlo Lojban has plural predication, or (ii) whether it just emulates plural predication by using groups-as-individuals, or (iii) both. I wasn't expecting (iii) to be the answer, but it seems it is. So yes, basically resolved - my thanks for your involvement in which - modulo details of precisely how plural predication works, and how it interacts with groups-as-individuals. Martin
