Re: [jboske] XS 4.1: the gist


la and cusku di'e


******
QUANTIFIERS are all underlyingly of the form {N fi'u D}.
If D is {ro(PA)} then Q means "N out of all PA things that are broda".
If D is not {ro(PA)} then ro is still the number of things that
are broda, but Q means "N in every D things that are broda".


Right.


Q can be expanded to
( N / D ) * (ro)C
"N in every D of all C=ro things that are broda."

... but I'm not sure how best to Lojban that.


In SL (ro)C is the inner quantifier.

In XS there is no place for (ro)C, so you have to use double
gadri: {ci fi'u mu loi ropanono loi pa broda} =
"3/5 of the all 100 single broda".
