Yes, on all counts. In practice, the only use of iterated SE is of the
form "setese", and then only very rarely. The x1 place has special
significance in Lojban because of its use in descriptions, but there is
little benefit to building selbri with the other places scrambled.
For mere expression of the sumti in a non-standard order, without affecting
the selbri semantics, use the numeric place tags fa, fe, fi, fo, fu.
