Why can't a sentence be modified? Can't we say:

le nu pilno zo ba'o cu galfi lu i sidbo li'u
lu i ba'o sidbo li'u
The use of "ba'o" changes the sentence "i sidbo" into
the sentence "i ba'o sidbo".

{le jufra} has to refer to the sentence before the
modification, but that would be the case with any
object being modified, nothing special about sentences.
