Re: [lojban] {ko}, {xa'e}, {.e'u}, {e'o}

[".arpis." <rpglover64+jbobau@gmail.com>]

That is absolutely false. {ko} is simply the word for an imperative mood, with no other implications; it's not necessarily an order.

-xa'e- is the rafsi, but xa'e as a cmavo is a LAhE (even though I wish
it was UI) that makes it so that the sumti it's used on is treated as if
it was ko, i.e. a third-person command.

     xa'e lo gerku cu cliva
     "The dogs shall leave!"
     "May the dogs leave!"
     "I want the dogs to leave."

Whether it's very useful is another question. {.e'u} will usually be
enough for cohortatives at least.
