so that's how a valid answer to {.i xu do klama} can be {go'i}.  I always kind of wondered what happened to the {xu} when a person says {go'i}.  Although.... how is it that the {xu} doesn't get included when you have 
A:  {do klama ti xu ta}
B:  {go'i}
?

I don't know about official, but I would say for example that "ge ti
cmalu gi ta barda" is one jufra that contains two bridi (in the
bridi=text sense). So jufra is more general than bridi. Also, a jufra
can have a prenex, whereas the bridi presumably is only the part that
comes after the prenex.
