Re: [lojban] 'good or simple' vs 'good, or simple'



Either I'm completely misunderstanding the situtations being described here, or people have rejected for soem reason the ji/je'i/ge'i/gi''i mechanism,  which you have completely avoided (as has the webpage pointed to)??

You shouldn't have logical "and" there; I concede that the irrealis attitudinal scope can be argued to fix it, 

How? Neither (what I believe is the correct expansion):

.e'u ge cuxna lo pamei lo ckafi gi cuxna lo pamei lo tcati

nor:

ge .e'u cuxna lo pamei lo ckafi gi .e'u cuxna lo pamei lo tcati 

(which I don't think is the correct expansion) are anything like what is wanted.

With great handwaving you could argue that there just isn't an expansion. I personally would likely read it as the first expansion, which is of course not what is desired. I agree that it is a bad idea.
