I am awandering,,so my contacts are sporadic and unreliable, but even assuming I am missing pieces, things don't seem to add up. There are two or three threads that seem to be related and that don't gel. The program that is to get to the logical forms of sentences get to things seemingly unrelated (and much more complex) than the originals.  Apparently this comes from unpacking thins that are logically OK as they stand (the occurrence of {srana} seems a giveaway. (I refrain from my rant about the obvious invalidity of most "translations" of, e.g. {le} phrases.). This nuttiness then leads using things like {voi}, which have no use outsider misunderstanding {le}. And that then carries over other uses of other words in the same category, mainly uses that should never have arisen -- and probably wouldn't have aside from the definitions.  Folks, this is a logical language; use the logic rather than fighting it.  {le broda} is a purely denotative term and so has no relation to brodas and ao {voi} has no role to play. Neither {zs'a} nor KOhA can be used as a basis for a free standing definition since thy are both meaningless and referenceless.
Etc. (losing wifi in 2 minutes).
