In a recent thread there seemed to be an assumption that {ko'a broda be ko'e ko'i} means the same as {ko'a broda ko'e ko'i}, ie. linked sumti eliminate the filled brivla places. Where is the source of this fact? I looked into http://dag.github.com/cll/5/7/ and didn't find it.

Oh, I've realized that such assumption can only be found in gleki's new rafsi proposal (eg. jve = "be fe lo") and it wasn't explicitly stated.
Anyway, I'd like to know how do we treat such selbri. Maybe {ko'a broda be ko'e ko'i} is equivalent to {ko'a broda ko'e fe ko'i}? The latter, as far as I understand, is an awful way to say {ko'a broda ko'e e ko'i} (or maybe {ko'a broda ko'e ju'e ko'i}? I can't say I understand {ju'e} and I don't see it in CLL).

{ko'a broda be ko'e ko'i} and {ko'a broda ko'e ko'i} are exactly equivalent. "be" has no effect on the jufra in this case. The reason for this is because "be" says the next sumti is the x2 of the immediately preceding selbri and not to any outer selbri that may contain it. (For example, in {lo zarci be ko'a zasti} the selbri "zarci" is an inner selbri contained within the bridi of "zasti".) The sumti "ko'i" fills the next unfilled slot, x3, as per normal.

I need to correct myself a bit. There is a small grammatical difference, in that {broda be ko'e} is considered a tanru unit (for cases like {broda be ko'e brode}), but it has no effect on the meaning- ko'e still goes into the x2 of broda, and ko'i still goes into the x3.

If you need verification, put {.i ko'a broda be ko'e ko'i .i ko'a broda ko'e ko'i} into the parser:

camxes doesn't assign sumti places. I don't know if jbofi'e by itself has an authority in the  Lojban grammar (except xorlo, of course).
According to jbofi'e, x2 of {broda be ko'e} is still broda2, verified be {ko'a broda be ko'e fe ko'i}. I think now I understand how it works...

Not that I have an official source to offer, but, rationally speaking:

ko'a broda ko'e ko'i = fa ko'a fe ko'e fi ko'i broda
ko'a broda be ko'e ko'i = fa ko'a fe ko'e fi ko'i broda

The same terbri filling the same selbri. As far as the effective
meaning of the bridi is concerned, they are identical.

I think the linked sumti no more 'eliminate' the places than the
unlinked sumti do. {broda be ko'e be'o fo'e} is as valid as {broda
ko'e fe fo'e}, examples of which can be found in xorxes' {lo nu binxo}
if I remember correctly. {broda be ko'e be'o fo'e} and {broda ko'e fe
fo'e} should make as much sense as {broda ko'e .i broda fo'e}.
