By subscripting.  Any member of SE or FA can have "xi <number>" attached
to access places beyond 5.  In this case, the particular member chosen
is irrelevant:  "sexixa" and "texixa" and so on are all the x6-conversion.
This is documented in my paper on text structure, available on
casper.cs.yale.edu:/pub/lojban/draft/refgrammar by anon FTP.
