Dr. Rosta's comments on my gadri whitepaper



And Rosta writes:

    *  Nonspecific is more general than Any. (Further discussion on jboske
if required.)
    * Given that XS handles Collective & Substance, a messy conflation in
loi/lei is not so disastrous. Or they could be disambiguated as lViza'u
versus lVitu'o, analogously to the XS approach and using what was
originally your suggestion.




Your ideas of Nonspecific and Any will only get lost in the shuffle here
-- as they probably already have, since you've probably expressed them
several times yet -- so it would be best if you added a definitional
section to your XS page. Then we can use jboske to attempt to reconcile
our conflicting but finally well-documented definitions.

Your XS ignores Collectives, treating them as identical to pluralities.
