Re: [lojban] {zo'e} as close-scope existentially quantified plural variable



  Nope.  Can't understand it well enough to formulate a question.  I'll let you and Martin and Jorge sort it out, and then let Jorge explain it language I can understand (whether or not I will agree with it).  As physicist Ernest Rutherford once said: "A theory that you can't explain to a bartender is probably no damn good."  Consider me your bartender.

No, just bad typing.   I am sure that is not your only question about this discussion; I sure have many.

[1] Sincei have doubts about what {zo'e} means, I'm not sure what {mii na klama zo'e} means, but I suppose it must be either "I do not go there", where "there" is some place obvious from context (the value of the Skolem function for the argument mi) or "I don't go anywhere", if it's a particular quantified variable, certainly not you second choice.
 
  With my usual habit of injecting mibzdi nu xajmi into long abstruse threads, I will just ask the following question about your first sentence:  zo sincei zo'u se mupli fu'e xu la lyrens.oLIvieis .a la'acu'i ke la melPOmenis .a la talaiys fu'o
