Noun
sumti tcita (plural sumti tcita)
- (Lojban grammar) a (Lojban analogue of a) preposition; a "sumti label" for extra sumti (“arguments”) of the selbri which the sumti tcita modifies. (By "extra sumti" are meant sumti which have not been assigned places in the selbri (“predicate”)'s place structure).

1997, JW Cowan, The complete Lojban language, page 245:When the negated tense is a sumti tcita, “nai” negation indicates that the stated relationship does not hold:
2001, Robin Turner, Nick Nicholas, Lojban For Beginners:We have seen in Lesson 5 that sumti tcita and tense cmavo can be used to add new sumti to a selbri.
