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

[Ross Ogilvie <ross@rossogilvie.id.au>]

Imagine there was a mirror you were using to look at yourself. There are two relevant actions:
a) look at the yourself in the mirror, such as by turning your head = (2)
b) be seen in the mirror, presumably by moving to in front of the mirror = (3)

(1) corresponds to doing both (2) and (3)

All three will result in you seeing yourself in the mirror (do catlu do), but as arpis points out it's a matter of emphasis about which bit you should do.

It's subtle, and I don't have a solid enough grasp to explain it, and I'd stick to the first one.

My best effort explanation would be that {ko} is active in its role (observer or observed), while {do} is passive.

Actually what is the difference between these three utterances ?

(1)  {ko catlu ko}

(2) {ko catlu do}

(3) {do catlu ko}
