Re: [jboske] unresolved debates

I think that means something else, slightly.  For example, it is
possible that if I jump off of a 3 mile high cliff, I live, but I
don't think we would say that i'm "able to live when jumping off
of 3 mile high cliffs".  I think this is because 'possible' allows
access to worlds which are more farfetched than the worlds which
'able' allows access to.  Or alternatively perhaps 'able' requires
truth in more of the accessable worlds than 'possible' (which only
requires >=1) does.

So you and the cliff are not capable of being in some relationship
which is however possible? Hmm...

I think {ka'eku mi plipe fi lo'e minli be li ci cmana gi'e za'o
jmive} should be true when {cumki fa le du'u mi plipe fi lo'e
minli be li ci cmana gi'e za'o jmive} is true.
