Re: [lojban] again about "out of"

[Escape Landsome <escaaape@gmail.com>]

Suppose I want to say : "He let the cat out of the bag"

(whis is a metaphor for "He let out concealed information")

How would I say that in Lojban ?

*** Please consider this : ***

I would like to keep the ability to make metaphors in Lojban.

So maybe, there should exist a way to say this in Lojban :

"I let out (the cat + the concealed information) out of (the bag +
what conceals)"

in such a way that it would use a special construction that binds
"cat" to "concealed info", and "bag" to "concealment".  Thus, using
some other construction which I write here as "*", one could say
further :

"The *cat was interesting enough"

which would be understood as

"The (concealed information) was interesting"

*** So, is anybody interested by this ? ***
