C.D. Wright asks about the inconsistency between PU and ZAhO.

Yes, they are inconsistent.  I sweated blood trying to make them both
consistent and usable, and finally had to sacrifice consistency.
Sorry about that.  They have different historical origins within the
Loglan Project, and get used in different ways.  In particular, sumti
tcita ZAhO is anomalous, because ZAhO -- like ZEhA, VIhA, VEhA, etc. --
basically expresses a property (1-place) rather than a relation (2-place),
but it is very convenient as a sumti tcita and we allow it as such
with anomalous semantics.
