[lojban] what {me lo broda ku} means and why not allow {selbri NOI}



In http://www.lojban.org/tiki/zasni+gerna+cenba+vreji xorxes proposes allowing {broda NOI}.
pe'i it makes no sense and shouldn't be allowed.

{do sanga} = You sing, you're a singer
{*do sanga noi stati} = *You sing that talented (???)

However,
{do me lo sanga noi stati} = You are a singer who is talented
makes perfect sense.

brivla work like verbs.
brivla converted into sumti work like nouns.
{me lo broda ku} work like "to be + noun".

I wish someone posted here other grammatical drawbacks of allowing selbri NOI
