The x1 of ckaji, for example, can be anything at all, it's not restricted to objects.okay, fixedAre (object, event, text) all the types there are? x1 of ckaji can be of any type at all, not just those three.
The same goes for mutce, milxe, dukse, satci, and so on.
In fact any time one of the arguments is a property of another argument, there's a good chance that the type of that other argument is dictated only by the type of the ce'u in the property, This also applies to comparatives (zmadu, mleca, dunli, simsa,...) It would be easier to revise the list if you sort it by type signature rather than just alphabetically.
For comparatives, the property is a property of each of two arguments, not just the first.I don't see why "lo since" couldn't go in the x1 of ckape.Because then we dont know what is the property of {lo since} that makes it dangerous.Surely that can't be the reason. In "lo nu kelci lo fagri cu ckape", how do you know what the property of playing with fire is that makes it dangerous?
Since "object" and "group" are different types, does that mean that you wouldn't accept a group as the x1 or x2 of ckasu?good point. of course i would accept but for now im not sure how better to reflect that in the table.I don't think "group" is a type in this sense at all. A few places do require plural arguments, but most (all?) places allow plural arguments. This is independent of the type of argument they expect.
What do you think of something like "mi ckire lo cevni lo nu mi ka'e viska"?You skipped this one. Can't x3 of ckire be an event?
means you want it to be only for abstract cones? Would a traffic cone qualify as a konju in your sense?that cone is characterized by two segments such that one has been revolved around the other one forming the cone. I think we are going to delve into Uqbar now since e.g. a traffic triangle is similarly not really a triangle and so on meaning that geometrical ideal shapes are impossible in this real world.My question is more basic. You decided to move "konju" from the bolci/slanu/... class to the linji/kurfa/... class. konju is not the only word in its class, so if you think it needs to be redefined, shouldn't all other words in that class be redefined as well? Why just "konju"?
