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



  Of course it can mean both. The CLL version of "me broda" is equivalent to the ma'oste "me broda ro da".  So we just say that "me broda zo'e" is usually understood to mean just that.

In passing, I note {me} being used for "is a member of", which is not

what it means, although I suppose it does include that meaning as a
remote part.

{me} with the meaning of "among" is a big part of xorlo (as it gets invoked any time an outer quantifier is used). It's also in the CLL.

10.2)  la BALtazar. cu me le ci nolraitru
       Balthazar is one-of-the-referents-of “the three kings”.
       Balthazar is one of the three kings. [1]


It's the ma'oste that has uses another meaning, but {me} cannot mean both, and the xorlo/CLL meaning is the more useful/necessary one in my opinion. So at least for some tersmu, "among" is what {me} means.
