Directly from the CLL:

So far we have only considered tenses in isolated bridi. Lojban
provides several ways for a tense to continue in effect over more than
a single bridi. This property is known as ``stickiness'': the tense=
gets ``stuck'' and remains in effect until explicitly ``unstuck'= ;'. In
the metaphor of the imaginary journey, the place and time set by a
sticky tense may be thought of as a campsite or way-station: it
provides a permanent origin with respect to which other tenses are
understood. Later imaginary journeys start from that point rather than
from the speaker.

Also, from the ma'oste:

ki =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0KI =A0 =A0 =A0 tense default
tense/modal: set/use tense default; establishes new open scope
space/time/modal reference base

So I meant modals. I could be wrong - the CLL *doesn't* supply
examples of non-tense modals being stickied, at least in that section
I linked.
