Subject: Re: [lojban] again about "out
of"
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 ? ***
