Re: [lojban] Re: Fw: bridi tail negation

I once stated that the emphasis of the arguments changes when SE is used, but was told that SE does not cause such change in emphasis. It would be handy if it did.

haha, right, I always forget the {cu}.  I've read somewhere or other in the CLL that changing places around can be used to change the emphasis of a bridi much like saying "the store was gone to by mi" changes the emphasis to the store instead of "I went to the store".  Maybe he was emphasizing the event of {zanfri} instead of the experiencer.

(You do need "cu" in front of "se klama".)
