Re: [lojban] [oz] {binxo}
la .asiz. cu cusku di'e
I noticed you sometimes use a property as binxo2, and sometimes a
concrete object. I know you make use of overloading (or polymorphism),
but I couldn't understand what your particular interpretation of each
version of {binxo} is that makes you sometimes use one version and
sometimes another.
I think I use them more or less interchangeably, but one is often more
convenient than the other.
With a concrete object, it means that one thing turns into another, as in:
(7) {lo màpku cu bìnxo lo tànbo}
"The cap turned into a board."
It's just *really* useful to be able to say that.
With a property it means "to begin to have a property" or "to undergo a
change towards having a property".
I'm not sure which one I would pick if I had to choose one over the
other as the only acceptable binxo2. I think I might lean towards the
concrete object version, however. The other one could still be accessed
via {kairbi'o} = {binxo lo ckaji be lo ka}, while the exremely useful
{binxo lo mlatu} would remain correct.
