Is it possible to use multiple conversions within a bridi? I was recently=

trying to translate "I am the worst vegetarian ever." into Lojban (just idl=
y=20
translating things that look interesting as I read them...) using {traji}. =
I=20
kept stumbling with the word order, though, either making up clunky=20
sentences with FA ({mi fi leka xlali cu traji fe lenu nalre'ucti}) or comin=
g=20
just short of my goal with conversion ({leka xlali cu te traji lenu=20
nalre'ucti ku mi}). Then I tried {mi leka xlali cu se te se traji lenu=20
nalre'ucti}, just for kicks, and it seems to work just fine! Am I just=20
deluding myself, or is this kind of verbal gymnastics acceptable Lojban?=20
Also, I'm not sure whether I should be using {lenu nalre'ucti} or {leka=20
nalre'ucti} there, since 'traji' asks for a property.
