My question, then, is what is the difference between CLL & xod's versions,
> > > la djan cu darxi lo nanmu ze'a lo jetfu > > > > > > CLL reading: > > > > > > su'o da poi nanmu zo'u (la djan cu darxi da ze'a lo jetfu) > > > There is at least one man x such that: (John hits x all week) > > > > > > xod's reading: > > > > > > (su'o da poi nanmu zo'u la djan cu darxi da) ze'a lo jeftu > > > (There is at least one man that John hits) that happens all week
The difference is that xod took {ze'a} to have scope over {lo},
even though it appears after {lo}. xod's reading agrees with
your reading of {darxi ze'a le jeftu lo nanmu}.
and for each version, how can the other be said in Std lojban?
I don't know about std lojban, it has probably not been defined. In
my opinion, {ze'a} does not consist of a series of times but it is
rather a single duration. To get the two meanings you expressed I
would use {roroi}:
> > > la djan cu darxi lo nanmu roroi le jeftu
> > > There is a man such that John hits him every
> > > time during the week
> > >
> > > la djan cu darxi roroi le jeftu lo nanmu
> > > Every time during the week, there is a man that
> > > John hits
> > >
> > > But {ze'a} should be a singular term
