Re: [lojban] Can the inconsistency with {seisa'a ... se'u} be overrriden?

the CLL <http://dag.github.com/cll/19/12/>says:

Note: The parser believes that parentheses are attached to the previous
word or construct, because it treats them as syntactic equivalents of
subscripts and other such so-called “free modifiers”. Semantically,
however, parenthetical remarks are not necessarily attached either to
what precedes them or what follows them.

...12.8) lu seisa'a la djan. cusku be dei mi klama le zarci

        John said, “I go to the store”.

12.9)   lu mi klama seisa'a la djan cusku le zarci
        “I go”, John said, “to the store”.



So is there any method of attaching sei ... se'u to bridi or jufra, not
to the previous word?

SEI doesn't attach to the previous word semantically. It works just like COI in that regard. The quote above from the CLL says the same. It's a free modifier that floats around in the bridi.
