ce'u and se/sel Posted by Arran <arran4@gmail.com> on Sat 28 of Nov, 2009 12:08 GMT I believe I have misunderstood the meaning of ce'u, can someone explain why you would ever use ce'u when you have the SE set, which has rasfi making it more powerful.

No, probably not. But it's there to mimic a lot of natural language constructions. Here's one example from my translation of Esther: "le citni'u cu melbi fi lo ka velski ce'u kei" -> "The maiden was pretty to look at". Also, remember, that theoretically at least, every "ka" construction and the like needs a "ce'u" in it. If it's not explicitly there, it's assumed by convention to be put in the first available space. But it's not necessarily so. --gejyspa To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
