[lojban] modals inside description sumti (za'e "internal-modals") question

[sunderland <gatewaycat@gmail.com>]

Forgive me if this question is super obvious or misguided:

FAhA as a tense goes into {lo} as part of the selbri (I think): {lo zu'a zarci}, "store to the left". But what about FAhA as a modal, i.e., "store to the left of the school"?

- You could use a relative clause with the full gismu (but not all FAhA get a gismu).

{lo zarci poi zunle lo ckule}

- You could do a couple of awful conversions (can {jai} can even take FAhA instead of BAI?).

{lo sejaizu'ase zarci be lo ckule}

==> Is there a straightforward way to put a modal phrase into a description sumti? (How do you do za'e "internal-modals"?)

Somewhat relatedly, I was also wondering, are the following grammatical?

1.  {zu'a lo ckule [ku] cu zarci} 

2.  {lo mu'i tavla}

In other words, can {cu} separate the selbri from a modal phrase (something other than leading sumti)? 1. is technically an observative (I think) after all. Secondly, is BAI considered part of the selbri when it's used like a tense?
