Oooooooh. It basically does exactly the same thing as jai selbri but marks the aditional information of the x1 being a sumti of type BAI.
Errr wait. So does {lo jbobau jai bau tavla} = {tavla bau lo jbobau} or something else like {lo ibobau cu tavla} where the x1 of tavla now means something like {fi'o bangu}? (wasn't sure how to express that fully in lojban without using jai again.
Now that I think I understand tagged jai (for the 8th time), is there a formal definition of it IN lojban? i.e. if you wanted to re-write {le jbobau cu jai bau tavla} without using jai how would you (assuming it's even possible)

The {jai BAI} syntax is even easier: it just switches the BAI place into x1:
i lo glico cu jai bau casnu la lojban
= i bau lo glico cu casnu la lojban
English is the language of discussion about Lojban.
The original x1 ends up in the place tagged by {fai}:
i lo glico cu jai bau casnu la lojban fai mi'o
English is the language in which we discuss Lojban.
