How long are we supposed to wait for the changes? (sorry i really don't know the algorithm of updating the lessons. I just note that people are complaining)
issue #3. Lesson 27. "ro da bu'a la .bab. = "Considering all X which exists: X is in at least one relationship with Bob" = "Everything is related to Bob in at least one way.". Notice again the order matters: bu'a ro da zo'u da bu'a Bob means: "There is at least one relationship such that everything that exists is in that relationship with Bob". The first statement is true - for any one thing, one can indeed make up some selbri which relates any guy called Bob and it. But I'm not sure the latter is true - that one can make a selbri which can relate anything, no matter what it is, and Bob."
Definitely "bu'a ro da zo'u da bu'a Bob" is not correct lojban at all. How it should sound like?
Regarding the abstractions si'o, nu and ka, I think they are too advanced to be taught early on. The semantics of them is discussed in lesson 29. I've added a line explaining that: "The meanings of these is a complicated matter, and will be discussed much later, in lesson twenty-nine. For now, you'll have to do without them."
In the wave lessons, I've chosen to present tenses simply as sumtcita, even though the grammar for PU is different than for BAI. In the beginning of lesson 10, it says: "No, in the Lojban tense system, all tenses are sumtcita, which we have conveniently just made ourselves familiar with. Okay okay, technically, tenses are slightly different from other sumtcita, but this difference is almost insignificant, and will be won't be explained until later."
I've added a sentence: "In most aspects they are like all other sumtcita; they are terminated bu ''ku'', for example.", making it explicit that PU is terminated by ku.
