-The phrase "assumes sitting position" seems to imply that the gismu means "sit down", which it, [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lojban/message/4877 ccording to Lojbab], doesn't.  (That would be {zutse binxo}.)
-The "assumes sitting position" is silly, but it seems as though an understanding of the tense system should make it clear that the gismu wouldn't mean that.
-No, the tense system doesn't help to decide. There are many gismu that refer to a transition, for example '''canci'''.
-BTW, does ''mo'u jimpe'' mean "fully understand" or "end of understanding"?
-I think it means ''finish understanding'', whatever the natural end of understanding is. ''fully understand'' should be something like ''mulno le ka jimpe'', (''jmimu'o'').
-So after ''mi mu'o jimpe'', I no longer understand? ''Mu'o marks that you are done speaking. This is why people often sign messages with ''mu'omi'e'' so-and-so. I assume you meand mo'u jimpe''
