This construction should have died in the arse. LOL... (It's a real viscerally-palpable pleasure to have you back among us!) But we really should be congratulating Jorge for doing what so many Lojbanists say is a prime motive for their interest in Lojban and a prime hope for what Lojban will achieve: Jorge is whorfianly exploiting the resources of Lojban to conceptualize things in a way that we hitherto would not have thought of conceptualizing them. As I mentioned in an earlier message, the me...me'o serendipity is a bit of a redherring, because there is a nonserendipitous way of getting sumti+MOI. --And.
