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

[John E Clifford <kali9putra@yahoo.com>]

I think that "one of every two" came out as "1/2" or some such.  I am not 
confident that {pi mu plise} means "half an apple", which might better be 
something about an apple half.  {pi mu lo plise} is a bunch of apples half the 
size of {lo plise}.

Ah, so "pi mu plise" is "half an apple" rather than "one in every two apples", 
then. That must have been settled after my intensive involvement ended. What 
ended up being the way of doing "one in every two apples"?
