Should this be "mi sisku tu'a lo'e kargu mleca" or >"mi sisku lo ka kargu mleca"? I don't like the way sisku is defined in the gismu list. Having a place for the property and no place for the thing that has the property sounds so strange (from a Lojbanic perspective) to me that I can't bring myself to use such structure. Is there any other gismu that shares this odd feature? i la camgusmis cusku di'e >Heh heh. > >Nice to see that someone else forgets about poi: > >mi sisku ko'a poi kargu mleca The problem with this is that ko'a has no referent. >Although I would probably use mleca kargu; why are you doing it the >other way? Because I'm not looking for something that is expensive, I'm looking for something that is less. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
