From Lojban to English :

Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
Gloss Word: incidental rel. clause for PA
Gloss Word: nonrestrictive rel. clause for PA
Gloss Word: PA nonrestrictive rel. clause
Gloss Word: relative clause in the sense of "PA, incidental"
selma'o: NOIhAhU
Definition: PA nonrestrictive/incidental relative clause; attaches to a PA
number/numeral/digit with the ke'a referring to that PA
number/numeral/digit.
Notes: It attaches to the last mentioned PA, which can be only a
single digit within a number rather than the entire number
itself (if it has digit length greater than one in some base).
Thus, beware of grouping. Confer: poi'a'u, jau'au. The
attachment of this word to the immediately preceding word can
be overridden by the usage of xe'au, which begins bracketing
together an utterance/subexpression that will be considered to
be the single and whole referent of the clause introduced by
this word, the utterance of which also finishes the bracket.
There is a proposal to expand the attachment of this word to
any word spoken in a mekso utterance (rather than only members
of selma'o PA), including members of selma'o VUhU, etc. See
also: noi'au.
