Things aren't grouping the way you probably intended them to. I'm not too hot on pu'u (nor grammar in general), but maybe you want something more along the lines of {mi ta'e pilno ri lepu'u cipra kei pu lenu mi gubyternoi} with an extra {kei} to close of the {le pu'u} abstraction and a {le nu} after {pu}? I also like to use jbofi'e to test out sentences before unleashing them on the world ;) mu'omi'e filip. -- filip.niutyn. All opinions are my own, not my employer's.
