Re: [lojban] [oz] {binxo}

That was my bet, but then I find examples (3) and (4) quite odd. Are you sure you didn't want to use properties there? Maybe you want to check examples (6) and (8) as well.

By the way, what do you think about the idea of using {co'a} to replace property-binxo? People tend to associate {co'a} with processes, but there is no reason to limit its scope like that.

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.
