Due to formatting mistake, here is the equivalence again:

poi'i = "ckaji be lo ka ce'u goi ko'a zo'u"

This does not look like grammatically correct Lojban to me. How could you
possibly place a “be” after a brivla?
Please give an example, maybe I misunderstood something.

x1 is plural.
I don’t see what’s wrong here. Please elaborate.

I don’t see how my rewrites differ in meaning from the poi'i examples.
If you think my sentences differ in meaning, then tell me please what they
mean to you. To me my rewrites mean the same as the “poi'i” examples.
Maybe it could also be the case that I simply did still not grasp how
“poi'i” works (or how it is supposed to work). :(

be *only* works after brivla. It's a selbri operation.

"broda be X [be'o]" is a selbri with the broda2 prefilled with X.

I might answer your other questions later.
