The most general of these is "no'a", which can have a subscript indicating how
many times one steps outside one bridi, and can be preceded by SE (itself
subscriptable, which can be used if a selbri has more than five places),
which swaps bridi places. So "mi djuno lo du'u do necli lo nu la djein prami
lo se no'a xi no". Both "no'a" and "nei" can be followed by "ra'o",
though "nei ra'o" is silly.
