John: > And Rosta scripsit: > > What are the default quantifiers for li, lo'i, le'i, lu, zo? > > CLL specifies these as ro(pa), piro, piro, su'o, su'o respectively > See Chapter 6, sections 15, 7, 7, 14, 14 respectively If everything has to be quantified, then these are sensible defaults. But why does everything have to be quantified? Why could the default not have been {mo'e zi'o}? In usage they are treated as if the default were {mo'e zi'o}, since I believe no attention is paid to the scope of these putative implicit quantifiers. Do {ko'a ce ko'e} and {ko'a joi ko'e} also have default quantifiers? --And.
