'.i do nenri sau tu'a le ckiku vorme'
'You enter, with requirement the key word.'
ITYM "ckiku valsi".

'Under the conditions of yall not being able to fight in lojban, please don't fight.'
It is spelt "y'all", or, more standardly, "you".

As for the section on bai itself, what this word should mean is all but obvious. If we follow the system in which all BAI are based upon the corresponding brivla, we get that the place is filled by a force which compels something. But people have been used "bai" for all kinds of stuff, including people and objects. This is also the case for the one example (".i za'a bai lo skami mi nalviska le se cinri nu casnu").

So, how do we solve this?

1) Disconnect this one BAI cmavo from bapli, its corresponding brivla.
2) Choose another brivla to associate it with
3) Weasel out of the constraints imposed by "bapli" (saying that the "x1 force (ka)" means something else than it seems to mean)
4) Widen the definition of bapli to fit usage
5) Something else entirely?
