Re: [lojban] fu'ivla gerna



   Why do you have to resort to experimental cmavo?  na'e works just fine there.   Another possibility was "...lob. go'i vy na.enai cy" (or equivalently, "...lob. go'i genai vy ginai cy", both equivalent to the English  "neither V nor C")

While I know what you meant, this doesn't say what you meant in either of the two common variations of {na}. CLL-na moves naku to the front; "standard idiom"-na amounts to a naku in the same place. In either case the negation scopes over the {.e}, which inverts it, resulting in "It's not true that ... for both V and C", i.e. "It's false that ...for at least one of V or C". You wanted either {.a} instead of {.e}, terminal {naku}, or (if you're into experimental cmavo) {na'ei} in the same place as your {na}.
