From ((BPFK Section: Grammatical Pro-sumti)), since moved here: !! Proposed Definition of ''ce'u'' ;__ce'u__ (KOhA8): Abstraction variable indicator. ''ce'u'' is a pro-sumti (meaning it takes the place of a fully-specified sumti). ''ce'u'' indicates that the place it fills is considered to be a variable place that can be filled by other data. ''ce'u'' makes sense only inside abstraction clauses. In particular, ''ce'u'' is almost solely used in ''ka'', although ''si'o'', ''du'u'' and ''su'u'' clauses can make some sense with ''ce'u''. ''ce'u'' basically means "this abstraction refers to a relationship in which the place(s) marked with ''ce'u'' can be filled as needed", so that ''lo ka ce'u broda'' is "the property of being/doing broda". If a ''ka'' abstraction has no explicit ''ce'u'', the left-most unfilled space is assumed to contain an elided ''ce'u'', unless context strongly suggests that the ''ce'u'' should go in another place, or that there should be more than one. In a ''si'o'' abstraction, all unfilled places are assumed to contain ''ce'u''. In terms of the Lamba calculus, ce'u is both Lamba and a variable, i.e. Lambda(x). Each new ce'u is a new variable. To bind multiple places to the same Lambda variable, use ''ce'u goi ko'a'' or similar and scatter the bound variables as you like. You can also use ''ce'u xi pa xi pa'' to refer to the first ''ce'u'' in the current bridi; increase the second ''pa'' for later ''ce'u'' in the current bridi. You can also use ''ri'' and so on, or ''cy''. In the case of nested abstractions, ''ce'u'' or ''ce'u xi pa'' is a normal, new ''ce'u'' variable, but ''ce'u xi re'' refers to the first ''ce'u'' in the next outer-most abstraction, and so on for higher numbers. If there is more than one, use another ''xi'', so that ''ce'u xi re xi ci'' is the third ''ce'u'' in the next outer-most abstraction. !! Examples of ''ce'u'' Usage la djan. cu zmadu la djordj. le ka ce'u prami mi ''John is greater than George in the property of loving me.'' la alis zenba le ka cfipu ce'u ''Alice increases in the property being confused.'' Confused by some situation unspecified. ku'i viku le rokci cu na dukse leka ce'u glare ''However, nearby the rock is not excessive in the property of being hot.'' lo smacu cu zmadu lo cipni lo ka lo mlatu cu nelci ce'u ''Mice exceed birds in the property of being liked by cats.''
