From Lojban to English :
Word: gi'ei [jbovlaste] Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD) Gloss Word: afterthought abstraction wrapper selma'o: GIhEI Definition: afterthought abstraction wrapper Notes: Accepts 'gi'ei LE NU', 'gi'ei NU' (elided LE defaults to lo), or 'gi'ei LOhOI'. Wraps the bridi before it within an abstraction. e.g. 'mi klama le zarci gi'ei-le-nu cabna lo nu do klama' = 'le nu mi klama le zarci cu cabna lo nu do klama'. Also see xoi, jai'i. Grammar note: The gi'ei-group acts like a specialized vau, grabbing a single bridi. If you are in a sub-bridi of the bridi you wish to convert, you need to close the sub-bridi with vau, or use i'au to return to the top bridi of the sentence.
