Re: [lojban] searching

Because {lo crino} can very well mean "that blade of grass over there". It's not specific either way, and unlike with definiteness there isn't a way to add quantifiers or anything to make it so.

It's not that it doesn't, only that it needn't. Specifying explicitly

that it doesn't isn't possible.

Why not?


va'i xorlo doesn't really "fix" this per
se, in that under the modified "x1 looks for x2 at x3" definition, you
can't explicitly say "I'm looking for a green thing, I don't care which
one", at least not without introducing another bridi.

Why? What is the problem with "mi sisku lo crino"? This is exactly the kind of thing xorlo fixes.
