What is the big difference you see between si'o2 and li'i2?



There probably isn't much (if any), but once you get it into your head that
{si'o} is like {ka} and {du'u} you're on a slippery slope to something very
strange.  As near as I can make out from what And says in recognizable Lojban
or English, the use of the second argument is application of the argument to
the (first?) lambda variable in the the phrase, i.e., <le si'o ce'u broda be
mi> = <le du'u mi broda> (different "quotes" since the stuff inside is not
obviously Lojban). --part1_7d.1a0edf89.28bee309_boundary--
