Re: Trigger language question concerning the use of "to be"

AJM> How, exactly, would a sentence such as "To defend is to
AJM> attack" for example be handled in this case?

If I were translating this sentence into my 'lang T4, I would
use the equivalent of "All they who defend (also) attack", or
"All defenders are attackers", or equivalently "All those
defending (now or at any time) are attacking". Does this help?
