'minyu' seems a bit strong, though I guess there is a place for "in re= spect " so sticking a "meaning" ('lo ka smana'?

An omitted place in a Lojban bridi is exactly equal to {zo'e}

{mi klama lo zdani lo zarci fi lo karce} is exactly equal to {mi klama= lo zdani lo zarci zo'e lo karce}

Therefore, {klama} is exactly equal to {zo'e klama zo'e zo'e zo'e zo'e= }.

That's not true at all. {klama} =3D {zo'e klama zo'e zo'e zo= 'e zo'e} no?

Whoa! 'klama' = is not a bridi but a selbri. So making the appropriate
substitutio= n ought to get it right, whether it is what is wanted is unclear.
