By definition, any selbri has one, and only one, "x1".

"x1" is the conventional name we use to indicate the first sumti place,
"x2" is the second sumti place and so on.

It's not a strict rule, you can use othe means to indicate the sumti places
of a selbri. Still there can only be one first place, one second place etc.
