If I understand correctly how this works, in {zo zo broda} first {zo zo}
will be processed as a "zo-word", and then we have "zo-word broda". The
second zo never gets a chance to form a zo-word.

OTOH, in {zo broda bu}, {zo broda} first becomes a "zo-word", and
then {zo-word bu} becomes a "bu-word".
