OK. Tell me what is special about these constructs that something
that binds together words:
zei ZEI lujvo glue
joins preceding and following words into a
lujvo
should be able to bind these things, which are clearly not single
words, as well?
And if it can bind these things, why not lu...li'u, or tu'e...tu'u,
or any other grouped construct?
