It depends on what you mean by "agree". I agree that this usage is consistent with the domain/range definition (which is also the official one, and the one approved by pc). But I don't agree that it is the best definition. I would much rather say: xuda fancu le selspe be mi pa ckana be ne'i le mi zdani Is there a function that assigns to each of my spouses a bed in my house? I have no idea in what context this question might be useful though. You're not even asking that the function be one-to-one, so more than one spouse might end up in the same bed.

No, that's not it. {le jei} never refers to a set of values. At most
it refers to each of the values.

That it has two {ce'u}. So it is a function from (child,toy)
pairs into what?
