Right!

>2. If there's a suitable BAI cmavo, use it. For example "the woman who is
>going to Istanbul" would be {le ninmu seka'a la .istanbul}.

That would be {le ninmu pe seka'a la .istanbul}. Otherwise, they're just
two terms of the main bridi, not directly related one with the other.
This is an important difference between BAIs and English prepositions.
Prepositions work sometimes to modify nouns and sometimes to
modify the whole phrase. BAIs by themselves always modify the bridi,
you need {pe} to attach them to a particular sumti.
