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



And Rosta:
I think it would be good to have other gadri based on a model in which there are no types, only instances. 

I'm only barely able to follow this conversation but couldn't that be what "le" is thought of as?  My understanding of "le" is that you must have an actual broda in mind.  I don't know the technical definitions, but that sounds like it could be thought of as an "instance" to me.

piro is numerically equal to pa. "piro donri" and "pa donri" mean the same,
except for the implied contrast (a whole day, not just a morning; one day,
not two or more).
