Re: Response to Randall Holmes on Loglan/Lojban "me"
Another error:
(this was exactly reproduced in discussions on our side)
le mrenu ga tera
is proposed by LeC to mean
"The men I have in mind were a threesome"
which I would express by
lea me le mrenu ga tera
but of course
le mrenu ga tera
actually asserts that
"each of the men I have in mind is a set with three elements"
This is a canonical example of a situation where the construction I
propose is needed and constructions anologous to those in natural
languages lead to absurdity.
