Re: [lojban] A bug in the CLL 7.6 example 6.14).

I have a question. Is a {sei} bridi in a bridi called an embedded bridi? For example,

1) ko'a ko'e sei nei brode se'u broda

2) ko'a ko'e sei no'a brode se'u broda

In which sentence is {broda} repeated, or neither? 

On the other hand, I think a {to} sentence in a bridi is neither an embedded sentence nor a part of the bridi in this context. For example,

3) ko'a ko'e to nei brode toi broda

4) ko'a ko'e to no'a brode toi broda

in neither 3) nor 4), {broda} is repeated; or am I wrong?

A {sei} bridi is grammatically a free modifier just like a {to} sentence, but semantically a metalinguistic bridi, which is somehow similar in meaning to {BAI lonu} bridi, which is clearly an embedded bridi, in which {no'a} works.
