When I was learning from LFB (over a year ago), I stumbled upon a note
in http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/lojbanbrochure/lessons/less10connect.html
(near the bottom of the page):
> The very astute reader will have noted that 'afterwards' should have been .i pu bo; the analogy with ba ku won out, though. (See The Complete Lojban Language, Chapter 10.12.) The rest of you may ponder what on Earth I'm talking about, but need not lose sleep over it.

Of coure I had noticed the inconsistency and the explanation hadn't
satisfied me. I didn't check the referenced chapter 10.12 (was I
afraid of CLL? I dunno). Now I've looked there and found nothing on
the subject. The relevant chapters are 9.7 and 10.16, but the
difference isn't explained there. So why the difference?

{broda i MODAL bo brode}, as far as I understand, is translated
roughly to {broda MODAL lo su'u brode kei}, but
{broda i TENSE bo brode}, as stated in CLL 10.16, gets translated to
{broda i TENSE la'edi'u brode}, which is the opposite.
Why?

Sorry, I don't understand. A tense killed his babo and was sentenced to —
what?

All I can manage is:

"Who kill (kills? killed?) their babo? Because these babo can't fight back. It was on the mailing list this morning: a lojbanist in (the area?) who had connected their three sentences (no idea). They are taking the babo back to baibo, (gibberish) who lost this argument? I am truly sorry for your tense."

Still doesn't make much in the way of sense, however.

Thank you!

I take great pride in wasting enormous amounts of time on the internet, soaking
up memes like a thirsty sponge, just to wring myself out on some unsuspecting
mailing list on the drop of a hat.

And I apologize for misplacing my apostrophe.
