I am more than a little surprised (in my natural state, not in reading your stuff) to learn that Lion has claws and a skin and eats meat, it seems wither to amorphous or too abstract for any of these things. Its exemplars do these things of course, but not it, Nor, of course, does the cinfo which Lion does involve any of these things directly. So how are lionness and sets of lions different?
I think the confusion here is that you have assigned a meaning to the metalinguistic term "Lion" on the basis of a Ready-Made view, and then -- and this is the mistake -- equate this with what "Lion" is on the basis of a Blobularist view. Read-Made Lion lacks skin (if you say it does), but Blobularist Lion does have skin and four legs, just as Barbie has blond hair and is made of plastic. --And. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
