RE: [jboske] ta'e/na'o




la and cusku di'e

Accordingly, I would
suggest that {na'o} covers both time and space, as in 'birds typically
fly':
   ro da na'o ga na cipni gi vofli
   ro cipni na'o vofli

Is this meant to be {na'o ku ro cipni cu vofli} or {ro cipni
na'o ku vofli}? Can we say {le vi cipni na'o ku vofli}?

This has the useful consequence of dealing with those lions in
Africa cases:
   ro cinfo na'o xabju le friko

I'm not sure I see it. I'd like to see an example of {na'o}
with individuals before I can understand what it means with the
quantification. What would it mean to say {la djan na'o xabju
le friko}?

In summary:
   ta'e = recurrently
   na'o = typically/generally in the world
   so'e roi = usually1
   so'e mu'ei = usually2

I think I understand "recurrently", but I'm still not clear
about "typically/generally in the world" when applied to
particular sumti.
