Oh, just an interesting note:
"broda poi'a purci" is the correct reëxpression for "pu broda". Tense in Lojban is aoristic; it happening in the past does not have any implications concerning that that action could not have continued into the present of future, or that another event which could be described in otherwise identical fashion cannot be happening (again) in the present or could not happen (again) in the future. The restrictive nature of "poi'a" encodes the possibility that other versions of what is otherwise the same bridi notion exist truthfully. (You got this correct, btw. I am just making an observation, which I find interesting, for the record. It might even become handy for future discussions/lessons/introductions - or this one, if you edit it (but I am not suggesting that you should do so)).
This means that we now have a symmetric and easy way to express exclusive (non-aoristic) tenses. Before, we would have needed to include "po'o" (example: ~"pu po'o broda") or to use negated AND connectives (example: "pu jenai ca jenai ba broda") in order to express this meaning. Now, we can just use "noi'a" (example: "broda noi'a purci").

I do worry about the interaction between "noi'a" with a temporal tense and other nontemporal tenses. Since space and time are symmetric in Lojbanic treatment, saying that it happened only in the past might mean that it did not happen at any spatial location (because the only tense applicable is the past, not any location tense). Likewise, "noi'a purci" (and nothing more) might mean that the event occurred in the past and nothing else, which means that it could not have occurred at any spatial location. Clearly, both of these interpretations are nonsensical because 'events' which occur must have done so both in some nonempty region of space and during some nonempty interval of time. Now, in the "pu po'o" case, I think that this is a much more serious (although possibly circumventable) problem; but in the "noi'a purci" case, it might be possible to make some sort of argument against it due to the nature of selbri/brivla. But I am not sure. It still seems dangerous to me.

I wish.
Somehow most people have never even heard of NOIhA. A good while ago, in
March 2016 to be exact, I wrote what was to this day the only written
documentation of NOIhA out there. But... it's in Lojban:

I think very few people have read that article. Shocking, I know!
Well, anyway.
Since I consider NOIhA absolutely necessary, the best way to raise
awareness is to write about it in English. That is the purpose of the
present article.
