la lojbab cusku di'e
The place structures are VERY different. mei is a 3-placer that converts between masses, sets-as-a-unit, and member-lists.
I never fully understood that place structure. What is a member-
list if not a lojbanset or a lojbanmass? And what is the point
of having a place for the set and another for the mass derived
from the same set?
The Right definition of {mei} should have two places, with
the second place being either a property or (better) a Kind.
So {lo cimei be le ka prenu}, or {lo cimei be lo'e prenu},
for "a threesome of people". How do you say that using the
official definition?
With the same place structure we have {lo pimumei be
lo'e prenu} for "half a person".
