How does "gau bredi" work? Does BAI before a selbri make x1 the object of the BAI?

tijlan tijlan February 11, 2011 February 11, 2011 at 3:44:54 AM UTC link Permalink

The object of "gau" (i.e. gasnu1) is unspecified, just like the object of "vi" in "lo vi titnanba" is not specified. It means that some agent is involved in "bredi".

A BAI takes its object in the same way FIhO SELBRI does: the sumti to its right side. The bridi's x1 is irrelevant.

In the case of BAI SELBRI, there is no syntactical room for the BAI's object in the first place. There isn't even one for KU. BAI SELBRI is syntactically distinct from BAI KU SELBRI. That is, "gau bredi" is not "gau [zo'e] [ku] bredi", although these may be semantically equivalent.

According to the formal grammars,
http://jbotcan.org/cllc/c21/s2.html
http://jbotcan.org/bnf/
the whole of "gau bredi" is one selbri, rather than "gau" being a detachable / movable BAI KU. And again it doesn't mean that the implicit object of "gau" is the same as "bredi"s x1.
