Re: [lojban] "we" and masses. A bug in the CLL?

But it misses (not commenting on whether would ever really want to do this).  "we" is clearly plural but says nothing about how the members of that plurality are related to this nu cusku, beyond the fact that one member (already in {mi}) is uttering the instant token.  In particular, they may all be saying this or only the one who is uttering it, and some may be among its target audience and some not.

Do you mean that "we" can also assume that {le cusku be dei} can include more than one individual ("We are the Borg") and no individuals outside this dialog?

gleki, I think you're too vlafi'i happy, for one thing, and nothing said in this entire thread has changed my mind about this all being a non-issue.

The issue comes only when trying to precisely translate some sentences into lojban retaining the same level of vagueness.
