[lojban-beginners] CLL p 95 - huh?

[Hal Fulton <hal9000@hypermetrics.com>]

I think I have finally understood this after quite
some time puzzling over it. (I'm in the middle of
p. 95 in the CLL.)

I'm trying to summarize this without looking at the
text, so please tell me if/when I'm wrong.

In tanru inversion, we have <seltau> co <tertau>.
But the place structure of the tanru is that of
the seltau. So any sumti following the tanru are
taken as sumti for the seltau. Correct??

The word "however" really confused me. I thought it
was trying to say that the place structure was
determinted by one gismu, but the sumti belonged to
the other one! That's nonsense, isn't it?

So the be-bei-be'o still confuses me a little. This
can be omitted here, I guess, because the sumti
belong to the tertau "just because"?

What if I wanted to add internal sumti to the tertau
in an inverted tanru? Could I do it?

I'm trying to think of meaningful examples here, but
I can't. 3 am in my timezone.  :)
