Re: [lojban] JAI/BO was: Attitudinal scales



I understand this usage (jai selbri) but the other usage (jai BAI/jai PU/jai X) confuses the crap out of me no matter how many times it has been explained to me.

If someone would be willing to explain it in simple (read: stupid people) terms I will put my greatest effort into understanding it again.

I can say with some certainty that it is/will be the last piece of lojban grammar for me to "get"

No, it's more specific that that.  It switches some unspecified place
from *inside* the original x1 (which must be an abstraction), into x1.
