Re: [lojban] Another "I wish signs were written in lojban" moment -- trains

Interestingly, this ambiguity only exists in the second person.  First and third person pronouns in English change shape in the subject versus object position, so it wouldn't actually be an issue

I'd say both. The ambiguity here isn't terribly large.

  New signs at the train station: "Stand behind the yellow line.  Trains belong on the tracks ... not you"  Now, is the intended meaning

1) ko  ti'a lo pelxu linji ku sanli .i tu'a lo trene cu mapti lo cpana be lo rengarna e nai do 

or

2) ko  ti'a lo pelxu linji ku sanli .i tu'a lo trene e nai do cu mapti lo cpana be lo rengarna 

?

  Both work and could be meant.  2) seems more likely, but you never know...
