  Really!  I didn't know pe'e had uses outside of per se  termsets.
Neither chapter 20 nor chapter 14 mentions it.  So I could say "mi
ta'e tavla fi la lojban pe'e ja fo la lojban" and  "mi pu  sisku tu'a
do bu'u le ckule pe'e jenai ti'u li pavo pi'e no" ?  Neat.  (Still
can't say "mi ta'e tavla fi ??? fo la lojban", though).
