"je bra cre" could be an abbreviation of "li brafi lo crefo knxiko" (using "knxiko":"i and o are both true" instead of the less useful Lojban definition of "kanxe"). Similarly for other connectives.Yes. Or "ri lo brafo lu crefu xxxikoku jtni", where for xxxikoku, i is a set and the following args are its members, "each member of {brafo, crefu} is the case".Then xxxikoku really means "i is one of o, u", not the set.
Yes.
It'd be good to expand the use of these abbreviations, because they're conciser. E.g. if variable "oi" means "bound by complement predication", "I believe there's fire" could be "jnva'akoi sa sma fgra".Is "complement predication" meant to be always the following sentence? So something like Lojban's "la'e di'e"? I'd rather it meant "the following" and not the overprecise "the following (single) predication".
I meant that the predication would be a dependent of oi, so occurring in the same sentence. "Oi" could mean "the following sentence", but in the sense of "following complete phrase" not "freestanding macrosyntagm (i.e. syntagm that is not part of a larger syntagm). --And.
