I think the correct preposition is "la'u", not "tai". "tai" is what I used in 
".i ca'o le nu casnu tai kei", for "pendant qu'ainsi l'on délibère".

Cross-linguistically, verbs are words that take arguments (sumti). There is 
not, as far as I know, any natlang which has an indefinitely long sequence of 
numbered places, but all natlangs, as far as I know, and Lojban have words 
which take arguments, some of which can be tagged by an adposition. So a 
brivla is a verb.
