Re: indirect Qs (was Re: On logji lojbo discussions)
And:

I think you mean:
ta vasru ma poi ke'a gonai tcati gi ckafi
{na go} denies the whole bridi, i.e. it denies that the connective
{go} holds.
But is that really what we want to ask? An unhelpful answer like
{lo selpinxe} or {lo glare} would make the bridi true. (Same thing
happens with your other versions.) If you have to rely on a helpful
answer anyway then I don't see why not simply ask:
ta vasru loi tcati ji loi ckafi
>[NB: by {go} I mean "iff". I may have misremembered this.]
You remembered right.
