Because a journal might contain fiction, and fiction doesn't really have a "subject"; also a journal might be about miscellaneous subjects. It's really the selection principle for the contents. In the limiting case, there is no principle at all, and the contents have to be listed (as a set, presumably). > It suggests > using ''papri'' as the x2, giving us such utterances as ''ti le papri cu > karni'' No, no. The "cf" means "compare", not "for example"; it is telling you that one of the listed gismu might be what you actually had in mind. > Would anyone > who knew the word ''karni'' ever have any need to know that a journal was > printed on paper?

"papri" = "page", not "paper". -- Not to perambulate || John Cowan the corridors || http://www.reutershealth.com during the hours of repose || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan in the boots of ascension. \\ Sign in Austrian ski-resort hotel
