ni'e makes an operator, something like su'i, out of a selbri.
{ni'e nafyvlina} works like {su'i}. (In fact {su'i} can be taken
as a short form of {ni'e sumji}.) {vei py. su'i ky.bu} is the
sum P + Q, {vei py. ni'e nafyvlina ky.bu} is the implication
if P then Q. How would you expect it to work?

I had forgotten about {me'o su'ibu}, the MEX expression of
(operand?) su'ibu.

{lau} has to be followed by a lerfu, such as {by}, {ky.bu}, {valsi bu},
etc. {bu} is needed for all lerfu except members of BY.

We can only speculate. The clearest path is usually to avoid
mekso altogether.
