As I wrote in the other thread:
There's a slightly different quantifier that I'd been meaning to mention, but have kept on forgetting. It's an existential quantifer with scope over the whole discourse: "Once upon a time, there was a poor woodcutter. He lived in a hut with his dutiful daughter." In Livagian I treat it as a separate quantifier in its own right. (Livagian doesn't have Xorban's lV.)
How to do this in Xorban? Just "la [poor]a [woodcutter]a"? -- No, tthat's "The poor are woodcutters"? Maybe "sa [hereby-newly-introduced-into-discourse]a je [poor]a [woodcutter]a"? --And.
