It sucks that you only get fai when using jai. There are many cases where it would be cool to get a fai'd non-x1 place. The fix {SEjaiSE} is ugly and wordy and Lojban deserves better.
Let's say we want to say "I allow you to kiss me".
There are two ways that require nothing new to be invented:
(1) mi curmi lo nu do mi cinba
"I allow that you kiss me."
(2a) mi se jai se curmi do fai lo nu cinba mi
(2b) do jai se curmi mi fai lo nu cinba mi
Sentence (1) is of course fine, but suffers from one small drawback: It requires forethought. If you already said {mi curmi tu'a do}, you are screwed and will be the laughing stock of your friends (zo'o).
Sentences (2a) and (2b) are similar, but (2a) is much uglier. (2b) I would consider quite normal and beautiful, but here we had to rearrange the sumti to make it work, again requiring a certain amount of forethought.
What I propose:
Allow fai to refer to tu'a places when no jai is present:
(3) mi curmi tu'a do fai lo nu cinba mi
"I allow you to kiss me."
If people complain about this, then at least invent a FA that does this job. It could then be used even when a jai is also present. I propose fau'a in that case. However, I don't like inventing new cmavo all the time. In my opinion, it's better to extend the use of existing cmavo.
