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



  I believe in in none of those cases does nei or no'a "work".  I don't consider that sei-se'u constructions can "see" the sentence they are talking about it.  It would make about as much sense as:
lo mamta cusku lu vo'a nitcu lo nu klama lo zarci li'u 
and claiming that "vo'a" refers to "lo mamta" (contrariwise, "lo mamta cusku lo se du'u  vo'a nitcu lo nu klama lo zarci" does work)

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.
