Anaphora subscription is the process by which one (the narrator) may unambiguously refer a sumti or bridi/selbri by using a cmavo instead (such as a pro-sumti or pro-bridi, respetively), but in some manner other than the default of the pro-sumti/pro-bridi. This method employs Lojban numerals and the entire cmavo-subscript-numeral reference is usually written as one word.
Vocabulary
xi (cmavo) with sub(script)/further previous reference (numeral) Where any of the above word(s) is/are enclosed in parenthesis () and is/are underlined, replace the said word with that intended
