la xod cusku di'e
I am not sure that we disagree on the above. Except, when you single out fancu as being the only gismu that contains a name, what about "cmene"?
I never said {fancu} is the only gismu that contains a name.
What I said is that {fancu} is the only gismu (besides du) that
has two places for the same argument. {cmene} has a place for
the name and a place for the named one.
You're right: "f(x)" and "x + 2" are related by cmene, and probably sinxa, tcita, and smuni.
f(x)=x+2. f(x) is the function, not the name of the function.
In ro velvecnu, the nalsku gadri is lo, which can refer to multiple referents. If I say "every price", how many do you think I am referring to? Probably, more than one.
Yes, each one of them at a time. It is not the set.
In jei mi tervecnu, it's true that the one value used in that range is 1. But the value of jei spans [0, 1], so in general, that is a real quantity.
You said it: "the value of jei". That's what {le jei ...} refers to.
Even when it is each of the values. Not "the set of values" as a set.
