I think the original intention might have been something 
like:

     do fa'u mi cusku nu'i fa'u gi fi la djan. bau la lojban. [nu'u] 
     gi fi la frank. bai la djordj. [nu'u] 

You and I speak, to John in Lojban, and to Frank compelled by 
George, respectively.

That example could fit better with the text.
