"ja'ajonai" is a connector, like "najenai". Connectors are one of the weird things allowed to appear at the very beginning of a text, so you can answer a "ji" question by just giving the connector.

So jbofi'e is parsing correctly here. mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
