I can't see identifying nu-objects (events) with du'u/ka objects (propositions/properties/relations). Events are thick, with lots of reasonable predicates applying to them, most centrally "occurs". Props are thin, with very few predicates, the most important with is "true (of)". Either events or props can reflect real-world/true or unreal/false situations. Metalinguistically you can say which is which with je'u/ je'unai decorations. -- John Cowan jcowan@hidden.email www.ccil.org/~cowan www.reutershealth.com "The competent programmer is fully aware of the strictly limited size of his own skull; therefore he approaches the programming task in full humility, and among other things he avoids clever tricks like the plague." --Edsger Dijkstra
