It generalizes to your case: "Which of >{A, B} is true depends on what is C". Right! Did we find a good word for "x1 depends on x2"? I can't think of anything right now. Would {jalge} work? For example: le du'u abu jikau by broda cu jalge le du'u xukau cy brode "Whether A or B broda results from whether C brode." >My brain died before that thread was resolved, but iirc you >were happy to handle it as "le du'u Q kau broda kei depends-on >le du'u Q kau brode". It still sounds good, but of course we are still missing a full logical explanation of {kau}, which is another UI that mucks around with truth values. co'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
