No, this is not Jorge-lo'e (= Kind = Mr.). This is a different distinction: is "lo'e cinfo" a reference to a singular abstract object, or is it a compact way of specifying a complex quantification?

That said, I still don't really understand And's viewpoint. -- John Cowan jcowan-k6JZYsoqQQ8PxK1qzZLvrwC/[email protected] www.reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan Assent may be registered by a signature, a handshake, or a click of a computer mouse transmitted across the invisible ether of the Internet.
