IIRR there are three constructions in the grammar where a brivla requires {be}
if it has arguments. One is a selgadri, one is a seltau, and I forget what
the third one is.
There are a few more:
With {na'u}, to convert a selbri into an operator.
With {ni'e}, to convert a selbri into an operand.
With {fi'o}, to convert a selbri into a tag.
With {sei} to convert a selbri into a free modifier.
With vocatives.
What do we call the state a brivla is in when it requires
{be}? I've thought of saying that it's in the infinitive, but the semantic
equivalent of an infinitive is {lo nu} followed by a brivla. Anyone have a
better name?
"Bound" by some converter?
