I also think that 'tu'o lo' should be the default gadri for defining lujvo, e.g. 'remcti' should be defined as 'citka tu'o remna', instead of lo/le/lo'e or whatever else.
Yes, definitely. In fact, we've always done it like that, we just have not made it explicit.
IIRC, xorxes defined the difference to be one of veridicality, i.e.'broda lo'e brode' --> 'kairbroda le ka ce'u poi'i brode' and 'broda le'e brode' --> 'kairbroda le ka ce'u voi'i brode', which is an almost useless distinctionand explains why he has always used only 'lo'e'.
When I proposed that I was assuming that voi/voi'i included specificity, not just non-veridicality. If they don't then change to: broda lo'e brode --> kairbroda tu'o ka ce'u cmima lo'i brode broda le'e brode --> kairbroda tu'o ka ce'u cmima le'i brode mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________Internet access plans that fit your lifestyle -- join MSN. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp
