[lojban] Re: What is the x3 of tubnu?

[gleki <gleki.is.my.name@gmail.com>]

The concept might be useful.

Imagine that I have a metallic pipe in my house for water.

I say that it's "jinme tubnu" and "djacu tubnu".

With 3 places it seems quite convenient to say tubnu lo jinme lo djacu

But needless to say that most places in one given gismu can be safely replaced with several distinct predicates.

So is the x3 stuff that *isn't* in the tube?  If so, why have it?
