XOI
definition
Right-scoping adverbial clause: encloses a bridi and turns it into an adverbial term; the antecedent (ke'a) of the enclosed bridi stands for the outer bridi {lo su'u no'a ku} (the bridi in which this xoi term appears), including all the other adverbial terms (tags...) within this bridi located on the right of this xoi term (rightward scope).
notes
Terminator: se'u. This is the definition proposed by Ilmen in 2014.

notes
1. The first place containing abstraction (if present in the predicate of the subordinate clause) is automatically applied to the whole bridi if not explicitly defined otherwise 2. If the first place is an object it's applied to the first place of the bridi. See also fi'o

notes
This experimental cmavo form has been assigned meanings several times independently. The first sense is expanding ko to third-person commands. In Lojban, there're no convenient ways to issue third-person commands, including cohortatives like "Let's go!", which could be rendered with zo xoi as lu xoi mi'o klama li'u. cf. la'e, doi, ko, la'ei and xa'e. The second sense, suggested on the Lojban Wiki by Xod, generalizes na and ja'a by creating a scale between them. This can be seen as an implementation of fuzzy logic. This sense has now been retired in favor of subscripting ja'a with xi. The third sense, apparently invented by Nora Lechevalier some time earlier (at least before 1997), is not intended seriously, but rather as a kind of reductio-ad-absurdum. As it makes any sentence true, regardless of the content, it shows that a language that is excessively free to interpretation is impossible to express anything in.
