[lojban-beginners] Terminator Elision Question.

[Demian Koller <d3m1ank@gmail.com>]

Would someone clarify something for me regarding a sentence? It comes from the Lojban for Beginners book, and it's an exercise in terminator elision: 'mi skicu li re boi re lo 
pendo' Obviously it means 'I describe the number 2 to 2 friends.' Removing the 'boi' ('mi skicu li re re lo 
pendo'), I come up with the meaning 'I describe the 22 individual friends.' But the book says the translation without 'boi' would be 'I describe the number 22 to a friend.' Does the 'li' before 're re' imply a terminator before the 'lo'?
