But then I would ask you {ko zengau lo se djica be do lo ka satci
lo se djica be mi} and we risk getting into an infinite loop. :)

The x3 of {satci} makes perfect sense to me, it follows the usual
lojbanic pattern "x1 is XXXXX in property/aspect x2" found in lots
of other words. But the x2 is a mystery, and the worse part is that
it gets in the way of the x3, so it can't be easily ignored.
