xorxesian lo'ei



Jorge's explication of lo'e -- I'll call it lo'ei to avoid confusion
-- rests on {buska lo'ei broda} = {siska tu'o ka ce'u broda} plus
the fact that we know what sisku means, plus our ability to
analogically extend this to all other brivla.

I have problems with the final step. I understand {sisku} as
meaning "I try to bring it about that da poi ke'a se ckaji
tu'o ka ce'u broda zo'u mi co'e (usually 'find' or 'have') da".
IOW, sisku creates an intensional context. So by this
analogy, {lo'ei broda} would mean {tu'a lo broda}. But that is
not what Jorge wants {lo'ei broda} to mean.
