RE: [jboske] individuation and masses (was: RE: mass, group,




la and cusku di'e

There is no dispute (from me, at any rate)
that predicates should not be intrinsically Countable or intrinsically
Uncountable.

I think Lojban predicates are all intrinsically countable.
In other words, {ro broda} and {pa broda} always make sense,
for any broda. What counts as a broda can vary with context,
but in a given context, something has to count as a broda in
order to use "broda".
