Re: [lojban] Please, the best explanation of {le} vs. {lo}
la .pycyn. cu cusku di'e
Not sure what {tai} does here, no NP after it.
{tai} is a selbri tag there, which means it implicitly tags {zo'e}.
(I pass over {ci'omle},
you're entitle to make your compounds mean whatever you want them to.)
{ci'omle} is an alternate form of {citmle}, which has been in the
dictionary for a long time, but some prefer the sound of {ci'omle}. Both
mean "cute". I guess I'll add {ci'omle} as well, didn't know it hadn't
already been added.
Saying all {lo gerku} refer to Dog is a retrograde step, back into the
Jurassic levels of the history of {lo} and xorlo. It is occasionally
true, but rarely, and -- given enough metaphysical argle-bargle --
always true in a sense, but not one useful to point out in most cases.
Well, it can help some people to understand what {lo} really means, when
other explanations didn't work.
