{ke} groups parts of a tanru, so {lo} right after it (skipping {po'o}, which
is in UI) is ungrammatical.
{ke} also groups operands, e.g. {lo mlatu .e ke lo gerku .a lo cipni
[ke'e]}.
durka's usage is an extension of this, inspired by guskant's zantufa.
{la su'o da} appears to be using a grammatical rule I'm unaware of. {la da
broda} is a sumti, but {la su'o da broda} is a bridi, and similarly with {le},
and I don't know what it means.
{la} and {le} have the exact same grammar everywhere except when cmevla
are involved.
A quantified sumti can be preceded by a gadri to turn the quantifier
into an inner quantifier. These are called sumti-based descriptions, see:
https://lojban.github.io/cll/6/9/
And for the xorlo expansions:
https://mw.lojban.org/papri/BPFK_Section:_gadri#Formal_definitions
{la su'o da} is "Someone" and has become a common expression for things
like "Someone should do this", often implying that oneself won't do it.
"I'll just wait for Someone to fix it".
{soi lo nu noda tcidu kakne}: I'm trying to find {lo nu noda tcidu kakne} so
that I can exchange it with something, I don't know what, and I fail.
This is new-{soi}, which has the same grammar as {xoi}. It is a bridi
relative clause. See also: https://mw.lojban.org/papri/new_soi
(note that that page was written pre-{xoi} and some of the examples
would be better with {xoi})
As far as usage, CLL-{soi} isn't really used much anymore.
