then this is meta-case 4 mentioned earlier.

However, from the initial paper by John Clifford I can't understand what is meant:
"Lojban has the advantage of monoparsing: that there is only one grammatical reading of any sentence, a clear advantage."

How can {lo se xi vei pa a re no'a} be monoparsed in pragmatic terms? It still has two readings.

{mi prami do} still has zillions of readings including {mi ba'o prami do} and {mi ba zu ze'i ru'i prami do}.

Of course, to say even shorter ambiguity is often just OR or XOR logical operators implied by the tree so I have no idea what is meant by monoparsing compared to English. What are the examples? Is it a resitrction of Lojban grammar or vice versa a flexibility?

A sentence that asserts a proposition involving a disjunction is not ambiguous. Ambiguity occurs when an interpreter cannot decide which of two (or more) propositions a sentence is asserting.
