[lojban-beginners] What's that with babo?

[ianek <janek37@gmail.com>]

When I was learning from LFB (over a year ago), I stumbled upon a note
in http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/lojbanbrochure/lessons/less10connect.html
(near the bottom of the page):
> The very astute reader will have noted that 'afterwards' should have been .i pu bo; the analogy with ba ku won out, though. (See The Complete Lojban Language, Chapter 10.12.) The rest of you may ponder what on Earth I'm talking about, but need not lose sleep over it.

Of coure I had noticed the inconsistency and the explanation hadn't
satisfied me. I didn't check the referenced chapter 10.12 (was I
afraid of CLL? I dunno). Now I've looked there and found nothing on
the subject. The relevant chapters are 9.7 and 10.16, but the
difference isn't explained there. So why the difference?

{broda i MODAL bo brode}, as far as I understand, is translated
roughly to {broda MODAL lo su'u brode kei}, but
{broda i TENSE bo brode}, as stated in CLL 10.16, gets translated to
{broda i TENSE la'edi'u brode}, which is the opposite.
Why?
