The reason I used x1, x2, etc is to keep them consistent with the
style used in other languages. Even definitions in Chinese or Hebrew
use the xN convention, so I wasn't going to break it for Lojban.

If you read "x1" as "xy xi pa", they are grammatical (they even
include "boi" where needed so that that works).

I prefer ko'a, ko'e, etc. in non-jbovlaste contexts.
