[lojban] [oz] {lebna} vs. {cpacu}



coi selpa'i

In several places you used {lebna} where I would use {cpacu}. E.g.,
 (1) {my cu ba zi lèbna lo vo'a zbibù'u gi'e si'a co'a klàku}
 (2) {lo cmàlu ke tolcì'o nìnmu cu lèbna lo tànbo lo ra nàzbi}
 (3) {lèbna lo bàktu lo kàjna}
 (4) {ny lèbna lo cmàlu lànka gi'e clùgau ly lo nànba}
 (5) {la .dòrotis. cu kàrgau lo lànka gi'e lèbna pi su'o lo nànba}

You do use {cpacu} in other places, though. E.g.,
 (6) {lo nìxli cu co'a cpàcu klàma}
 (7) {la .dòrotis. cu klàma te zu'e lo nu cpàcu la .tòtos.}

Clearly you have a more general interpretation of {lebna}, particularly of lebna3, than what is indicated in the gi'uste notes, where it is said
  "x3 is possessor and not merely source, alienation is implied"
  "cf. cpacu, where [...] previous possession is not necessarily implied"

I understand it is often useful to use gismu with more general definitions, but in this case I am confused: How do you differentiate between {cpacu} and {lebna}?
