For example, does the above mean "at least one <X> which is
{na vreta}" or is it "at least one <X> which is not {vreta}"? The bu'a
system for Lojban is just not well thought up, it was sort of a last
minute addition. Selbri can still be quantified in the usual way
{su'o da poi selbri}, at the cost of having longer expressions.

Indeed, I hope lojbab explains what he meant by that.
