I might as well link to http://mw.lojban.org/index.php?title=new_voi
I found this explanation of {voi} practically unintelligible. Between the loose use of logic and linguistic terms ("mid-sentence PREnex"?), and what I can only assume is colloquial Jbopre jargon, I was only able to make any sense of it through the examples. I think that's very unfortunate. It would be nice if it were explained much more clearly, in terms one could, or at least almost could, but in the CLL.
In any case, after figuring out the examples, I have a basic idea of it. But I am clearing missing the key point, because I'm not sure how exactly this is different from {poi}?
