Yes. Either that, or accept that "bridi" has two meanings, the second
one being the purely syntactical one "x1 (text) is a bridi consisting
of a selbri x2 (text) inserted among sequence of sumti x3 (each of
which is a text)". Something like this is what "bridi" is used for in
English when discussing Lojban syntax.

The mixed version, where x1 is a text but has arguments x3 that are
not text doesn't really make a lot of sense.

Many of the other Lojban grammar words have similar problems too.
