Notes


It should be noted (and this applies to all BAI+nai constructs) that while the above example asserts that "mi nelci do", and it asserts that this isn't a result of "do melbi", it does *not* assert "do melbi" one way or the other.

Precisely speaking, I need six hours to at least think straight. Additionally, I need seven hours to be happy.

(some meaning is lost as it is six hours that may or may not be consecutive, which isn't conveyed in the English. Also, does nitcu have sumti raising like that? I thought se nitcu was an abstract.)

Notes

Impact


There exists a contradiction between the CLL and the ma'oste about the meaning of BAInai WRT causals. The interpretation we are using (explicated in the preface section) here for "ri'a nai" and such matches with that found in the CLL (Chapter 9, Section 13). To get the meaning shown in the ma'oste (despite...), it is suggested to use e.g. to'eri'anai instead of ri'anai.

This is shown as the following:

  • ri'a == with cause
  • ri'anai == not with cause (regardless of cause)
  • to'eri'a == prevented by
  • to'eri'anai == not prevented by (despite)
