definition
Convert arbitrary bridi to UI with the grammar of {sei}.
notes
Equivalent synonym for ci'o'ei, converting bridis to UI; both words are shorthand for «.ui ma'o'ei». For a grammar closer to sumti, see also ki'ai, which uses COI2 rather than SEI, which can convert cmevla, selbri, and zoi quotes; this permits the shorter version of e.g. «ki'ai .xm. mi pensi» rather than e.g. «.ui'ei me la .xm. mi pensi». For conversion to selbri, see tai'i. See also ju'a'ei for nonce evidentials (e.g. «ju'a'ei simlu» for «si'au» (‘it seems …’)). Note that after SEI, selbri auto-terminate with se'u once a sumti is found, unless it is attached with be or bei (or bei'i); however, bei'e may be used after a SEI cmavo to still apply the following sumti, with automatic bei'i application. For converting bridi to arbitrary existing grammar, see ma'o'ei.
