Re: [lojban] Please, the best explanation of {le} vs. {lo}

Well, I'm not sure how obvious it is that {zo'e} picks up my hunger rather than an indefinite something (and, if it does, what that says about leaving places unfilled).
I have no trouble with the various tenses being used as tags with arguments; I am less comfortable about tags being used as tenses without arguments, that is, as adverbs not in tanru form.
