Here is an example:

French, "incidentally along" English, Spanish and German, is a language.
This "incidentally along" is also a "together with", but the fact that "A,
B,C" cu broda, too, is mentioned only as mere *information*. It says,
"hey, by the way, A B and C cu broda, too, if you wanted to know" and
optionally (i.e. if the reader wants it to read it this way, while the
writer didn't actually want to put this meaning in it) also "how
interesting, ko'a is not the only one in its cu broda-ing situation".

As a corollary to the preceeding explanation, IMHO, a separate bridi
stating that "A B C ji'a cu broda" gives far too much importance to this
"informational" fact, which does not really have any impact on the rest of
the discourse.

My problem here is probably that I need some form of "noi" that adds
incidental, additional sumti to the standard places of a single selbri,
instead of adding incidental selbri to a sumti. A miss in Lojban ? Is
there any operator that could apply a selbri on all the elements of a set
giving most importance to the first element, or anything similar ?

Oh, btw, thank you for the samples of "standards", I think I got the
point. :-)) (u'i uicai?)
