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



  I think the problem you and I are having is the meaning of the word "specific".  We are not talking here of "steci", but more like the following definitions of specific from m-w.com:
1a : constituting or falling into a specifiable category
b : sharing or being those properties of something that allow it to be referred to a particular category
4 of, relating to, or constituting a species and especially a biological species

 i.e. klesi or jutsi

  When I say "mi me la'oi turniansky"  It means "I am of the category/species Turniansky"  If I say "mi me lao'i Turniansky lo ka jbena" it means "I am Turnainsky by birth"

Of course it can mean both. The CLL version of "me [ko'a]" is
equivalent to the ma'oste "me [ko'a] ro da".

"among" is not the same as "specific to in everything".


So we just say that "me
broda zo'e" is usually understood to mean just that.

I don't know why one would want to keep the ma'oste meaning. It can be expressed using other words (cf. ckini, moi, steci), but xorlo-{me} is a core part of the language.
