The Distribution Problem: An Ambiguity?

    2)      cmalu je nixli ckule
            little and girl school

I read this distributively: it is a physically small school and a
school with the character of a young female.  No doubt it/she is an
artificial intelligence or robot working as a school.

No joke: I was thinking `girl school, how can a school be a girl?
Ah... if it is alive; hence (since a school is not a human) it must be
an AI.'

I interpreted the tanru differently than usual, but I agree with John
Cowan ``that "A je B C" must have the distributive reading''.
