I don't disagree with you. But {go'e} itself is a brivla, not
always used as a bridi. It is a brivla that takes its meaning
from a bridi. It is grammatically a brivla. It is used as a brivla.
{le go'e} makes reference to the x1 of {go'e}, not to a bridi.
That is what the question was about. You must use {le du'u go'e}
to refer to the bridi, you can't use {le go'e} to refer to
the bridi.

Exactly what I said. We agree.

When did I forget that?

I never said it didn't. {go'i} is a brivla with all those
meanings and implicit arguments.

Exactly. So the cmavo list is not very precise in labeling it
as a bridi. We agree, really.
