Using a property in zilkancu3
would probably be clearer for that reason.
But "lo ka ce'u xanto" is a property of "lo ci xanto" as well as of
"lo xanto", so I'm not sure it adds anything in that respect. "ka" does
help people who don't like generic references,
Personally, I don't mind generic references.You're right, it doesn't help at all, because {lo ci xanto cu xanto}.
but I'm not sure it does
anything more than "lo xanto" to specify the size of the unit. How would
it help to say that you are counting by things that have the property
"lo ka ce'u xanto" if among those things there's lo ci xanto as well as
lo pa xanto?
"to be an elephant" is a distributive predicate, but Lojban doesn't put that job on the selbri. We could try:
lo ci xanto cu xanto gi'e zilkancu li ci lo ka ro xo kau ce'u xanto
And now I'd rather go back to {lo xanto} as the unit. :)
