What options are you using with jbofi'e? With the -x option, it gives this:

xu /{yes/no?..}/ [([nandu2 (thing(s) hav-ing difficulty):] do /you/) /[is, 
does]/ <<se nandu /hav-ing difficulty/>> ([nandu1 (difficulty thing(s)):] 
lo /any/some/ <nu /event(s) of/ [([tavla1 (talk-er(s)):] do /you/) /[is, 
does]/ <<tavla /talk-ing/>> ([tavla2 (talked to thing(s)):] mi /I, me/) 
([tavla4 (language(s) of talk):] fo / / la / / lojban. /[NAME]/) ([tavla5 
(talk??):] lo /any/some/ <nu /event(s) of/ [([tatpi1 (tired thing(s)):] 
do /you/) /[is, does]/ <<tatpi /being tired/>>]>)]>)]

"lo nu do tatpi" is in x5 of "tavla"; the question marks mean jbofi'e doesn't 
know how to gloss that place.
