If I know se and mau, but I do not >know zmadu, then knowing that semau is se+mau does not tell me what it >*means*. But you can't know mau and not know all the places of zmadu. You need not know that mau comes from zmadu, but the definition of mau has to include all the places of zmadu. ka'a does not just tag any goer. It tags a goer that has a destination, an origin, a route and a means of going. Very heavy baggage, but that's Lojban. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
