Re: [lojban] {poi'i}

Thank you, Ilmen! Blessings and many Karma points for your troubles.

So basically it is a way to define a new selbri on the fly. Is that about the short of it?

More or less. Probably a cleaner, more fundamental way to think about it is just like {me'au lo ka}, except it binds {ke'a} instead of {ce'u}. Since it's always unary, if you don't like {me'au} you can use {ckaji}.

Note that {me'au lo ka} is really closer to making a selbri on the fly, since a formal definition of a brivla in Lojban is best written as {lo ka broda cu ka ...}, where we are defining {broda}.
