Re: [lojban-beginners] Assigning ko'a

.ua perfect time to clear up another question I've often had.  Jorge, can you clear up some terminology for me?  What is a:

term
phrase
clause

If you could give an example of each in a piece of lojban text.  i.e.  An example of the most that can be put into a "term"; or rather, what "starts", "continues", and "ends" a term/phrase/clause?

That would be incredibly helpful to me.  It took me the longest time to understand the difference between {pe} and {poi} primarily because I didn't have a clear understanding of the difference between "phrase" and "clause".  Are they a sumti?  A sumti chain (<sumti> join <sumti> jo'u <sumti>)?  A bridi?  A bridi + multiple tails? etc...

It will gobble up a single term, which may consist of several connected sumti.
