RE: [jboske] a quick note on poi'i, ce'u, ke'a, and 'bound ' ka (was: RE: Theugly head of ni




la and cusku di'e

1  {du'u2 ce'u broda} = x1 is the property of being broda
2  {du'u2 ce'u broda ce'u} = x1 is the broda relation

3  {du'u1 ce'u broda} = {du'u ma kau broda}
   = x1 is a (true) completion to {du'u2 ce'u broda}

I conclude that {du'u1} and {du'u2} should be expressible by different
cmavo. {du'u1} is the one that deviates from current Lojban, so
would call for an experimental cmavo ({du'au}, say), if only in order
to allow for a lexicosyntactic form that is closer to logical form.

So how about when ce'u and qkau combine? E.g.

4  mi se cfila loi du'u ce'u prami ma kau
   "Who I love is a flaw in me"

5  {mi se cfila loi du'au ce'u goi ko'a zo'u jetnu
   fa lo'e du'u ce'u prami ko'a}

Don't you mean:

mi se cfila loi du'u ce'u goi ko'a zo'u jetnu fa lo'e du'au ko'a prami ce'u

The thing in x1 of jetnu has to be completion, not a property.
The thing in x1 of cfila has to be a property, not a completion.
And thing in x2 of cfila has to be the one in x1 of prami, and the
holder of the property in x1 of cfila.
