Another (more logical?) possibility is
xi no, xi pa, xi re... in one direction and
xi ro (=xi da'a no), xi da'a pa, xi da'a re ... in the other.
It takes the same number of syllables.

{xino} makes a nicer default.

I think "outermost" can be well defined, but what exactly
counts as "current"? For example, in:

broda lo brode be vo'axiro

Can {brode} count as the "current" selbri?

How about {lo brode pe vo'a xiro} vs. {lo brode ku
pe vo'a xiro}? Does the fact that the sumti is still
open or already closed make any difference when
attaching a {pe}?

I suppose that sumti in different subordinate branches
are inaccessible. For example, in
{ko'a noi ko'e broda cu brode lo nu ??? brodi}
there is no way to refer to the position where ko'e is
with these creatures.
