[lojban] Logical scope of LAhE
coi ro do
I have a question.
Let's consider the sentence {mi djica tu'a da}. Does {da} have
scope/priority over {tu'a}, or vice versa?
Which of the below expansions is correct?
1) {mi djica lo du'u su'o da zo'u da co'e} -- {tu'a} expands first, it
has priority over {da}.
2) {su'o da zo'u mi djica lo du'u da co'e} -- {da} expands first, it has
priority over {tu'a}.
3) Ambiguous scope.
The Lojban interpreter Tersmus opines that {da} has priority over
{tu'a}. However, this behavior doesn't parallel the way LE is handled:
{mi djica lo co'e be da} is interpreted as {mi djica lo poi'i su'o da
zo'u ke'a da co'e}, and not as {su'o da zo'u mi djica lo poi'i ke'a da
co'e}, so {lo} has scope/priority over {da}.
Shouldn't all the gadri (LE and LAhE, in this case) have the same
behavior with regard to logical scope?
