I said that a sequence was neither a mass nor a set (carrying >logs >turning up frequently in discussion of masses). A set of people cannot carry a log, a mass of people can. The question is, can a sequence of people carry a log? It is a reasonable question, because Lojban provides articles for sets and for masses, but not for sequences, so sequences will have to be a subtype of one of those. I have thought until now that the way to refer to a sequence of cats was as {le'i mlatu}, but it would be very nice if I was wrong and the right way is to use {lei mlatu}. Or are you saying that we have no way in Lojban to refer to a sequence of cats directly? mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
