strange behavour with combining -i with -n 1 for xargs

I tried the following which didn't work as expected: % echo a b c | gxargs -n 1 -i echo before {} after before a b c after Without -i it uses the arguments by itself, but of course at the end % echo a b c | gxargs -n 1 echo before {} after before {} after a before {} after b before {} after c J
