For every bridi there are an infinite number of possible sumti places that could make a difference in whether a statement is true in some cases. Practically, nearly zero of these possibilities is talked about enough that they warrant being thought about every time the selbri is mentioned. When most people think about dates, they only rarely have to worry about the location of the date, and when they do, they can specify with "vi" or "bu'u", etc. The simplicity of the place structure (for lujvo, among other things) is much more important. co'o mi'e adam
