Re: [lojban] Update on gadri Proposal
{PA broda} picks PA brodas out of the whole universe of discourse; {PA lo broda}
picks PA brodas out of lo broda. Of course, the two piles of available brodas
may be the same, but they need not be and often are not. If the point of the
example was to show that {lo} made no difference, then the example should be
done away with indeed.

What are those differences?

What difference in meaning does "lo" make here?
(If we remove (lo) from the example, we should remove the example
entirely, since it's supposed to be an example of "lo".)
