The best way to test a lujvo in my opinion is to expand it 
in Lojban. Even if you don't get the exact meaning, you get a
better sense of what the place structure could be. 

In the case of junli'e, if the precedence is purely temporal,
why would we prefer {lidne} to {purci}? Using lidne suggests
to me that {djuno} goes in the x3 of lidne, so something
like {lidne be fi le ka djuno}, "x1 precedes x2 in knowledge".
