The answer to the #question "Who shot JR?" is "Alice.", not "Alice shot JR.". Answers are #sumties, not du'us, and this is true in English and Lojban alike. (It is so long since JR was shot, that I can no longer remember who did it. It was a woman, but was she really called Alice?) We may disagree about whether an answer is a sumti or a du'u, but certainly lo'i du'u Qkau is a set of *propositional* 'answers' like "Alice shot JR". I don't know where we've blown it -- Explain! --And.
