[lojban] Re: nei

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

yes.  that's exactly what I was going for.  I was looking for something like:

"I like the strangeness of [nei]" which I was hoping that if nei works the way I am thinking that it does that would mean:
"I like the strangeness of 'I like the strangeness of '...' ' "
sort of having a "the song that never ends" effect.

Or does "nei" not get included in "the current bridi"?

"lo broda be fa co'e" is equivalent to "co'e poi broda"; you're
stuffing "co'e" in x1, then taking x1 as a sumti. So what you said means "mi
nelci nei poi te cizra", that is, the bridi is a strange property. Is that
what you meant?
