Discussion of "plisytsi"

Comment #1: New definition.
Wuzzy (Sun Jul 14 10:14:44 2013)

I just noticed that the first definition “p1=t1 is/are apple seed.” is
flawed since you can’t quantify the apple seed anymore. If you say “i
mi ponse ci lo plisytsi” it means you possess three times one or more
apple seed which could mean you posses three to infinite apple seed, which
makes this brivla not really useful. “p1=t1 is a apple seed.” on the
other hand, is quantifiable so I prefer this one. Sorry for the trouble!

Wait. Let's take gerku. It doesn't specify the number of dogs.

mi ralte lo gerku can mean "I keep a dog"/"I keep dogs"

To specify number you use either pa lo gerku or za'u lo gerku.

Yes, today I thought about it again and independently came to the
conclusion as you. Definition #1 was indeed the better one. Forget about
the new definition, it was silly.
