Re: [lojban-beginners] BAI tag clarification

The reason I wanted a BAI was that in my English thought, the prepositional phrase was an afterthought, and I wondered if it worked that way in lojban.

Why is everyone afraid of simply refactoring the sentence to use traji or zmadu or mleca as the main selbri? :P

Otherwise, if you're dying to use a BAI:

.i mi xebni lai cipnrkorvo terai loi ro xadykelci'e bende

Let's suppose I want to say "I hate the Ravens, more so than any other sports team." (because them winning caused me to lose sleep).

{.i da'i mi troci cu fanva zo'e sa'a mu'i lo du'u lo nu jinga ku rinka lo nu mi na'e raumei sipna}

I can say {lo ni mi xebni lai cipnrkorvo cu zmadu tu'a lo drata ke xadykelci'e girzu} or {lai cipnrkorvo lo drata ke xadykelci'e girzu ku zmadu lo ni mi xebni ce'u}

Does {mi xebni lai cipnrkorvo se mau tu'a lo drata ke xadykelci'e girzu} mean (more or less) the same thing? If not, how does it differ?
