I have changed f- to operator. Now the question is, do we want to
change b- as well?

Changing f- has solved the multiple fV issue, since now it is clear
what "fa fe fi crvo'e" means, "A is the state of affairs in which E is
the state of affairs in which I is the state of affairs in which it
rains". Pointless but not meaningless.

But what about multiple bV? If we change bV to an operator then "ba be
tvla'eka" means "A makes E make us talk to A", which would not be very
clear with babe as arguments. Yes?
