intensions & extensions (Xorban)



Some preliminary not-deeply-thought-out suggestions:

1. Let s- & r- be extensional, in the sense that in s/ra Ra Pa, Ra and Pa are in the same world.
2. I can't make up my mind about l-; I've been vacillating back and forth between having it be like s- and r- and having it unspecified for extensionality. Again, in the sense that la Ra Pa, Ra and Pa are in the same world. I think I'm inclining towards the unspecified option.
3. Split f- into intensional (world-shifting) and nonintensional versions, say f- and h-. It can be a bit verbose, tho: "la fa la sma pvjrna pxro'ekaka'a" as opposed to the ambiguous (or extensional) "la pvjrna pxro'ekaka'a".
