Lojbab: > "Default" means "first guess" not "actual meaning" That's what "default" means to you. It's not what it currently means in Lojban. But I am not unsympathetic to the BF deciding to change the prescription to reflect your understanding, and deleting the defaults from the prescription.
I am more and more sympathetic to that idea as well. I think
that without an implicit quantifier, we would naturally fall
into the Kind interpretation of bare {lo}.
> Huh? "pa lo re si'e means nothing to me, since I have trouble > contemplating a si'e greater than 1 Read the ma'oste (entry for si'e) and you will understand. In learning Lojban it is important that you should read the ma'oste.
The ma'oste defines {<n> si'e} as "one <n>th", and CLL repeats
this definition, but I suspect the intention was for <n> to
be the fraction rather than the denominator. The BF should
clarify this.
