Re: [lojban] [oz] Abstractors

You should say {lo te troci cu rinka lo nu morsi} or {lo nu troci cu
rinka lo nu morsi}, right?

It would say the latter. It just makes the tried thing more "buried", which is what I disliked at first, but it's still better than {nu}.

What I mean by buried is that "what I tried killed him" sounds different (to me) from "my attempt killed him". The former has the attempted thing right at the top, the latter doesn't mention it. It's a bit like {lo nu troci ma kau}, but I'm not sure that's quite it, though it sounds about right.
