However, something did raise a question:
Well, assuming 'lo mi cutci' is lost and gone forever (L3)
Umm... what did this side-statement mean? Are you referring to "lost" in the scope of this discussion, or in the scope of some grammar change I've missed?
I'm teaching a Lojban class right now, and want to be absolutely certain I haven't missed some discussion ridding Lojban of the {lo mi cutci} == {lo cutci pe mi} rule.
