In this example, "go`i" = "na broda", "na go`i" = "na broda",
and "ja`a go`i" = "broda". So it's not as bad as you feared.

This is from memory of a Woldemarian pronouncement when the issue
was discussed on Lojban list some time in the last 3 or 4 years.
It must be in the Book somewhere, but I'm not sure where to look
it up.

[BTW, it wd be good in the longrun if one could search the
online grammar according to selma`o. So I could ask for NA
+ GO`A and get directed to passages discussing both of these.]
