There are several varieties of sumti.

The simplest ones are those of selma'o KOhA: {mi}, {do}, {ti}, {ko'a},
{da}, {ri}, {di'u}, {ma}, etc.

Then there are lerfu and lerfu-strings: {by}, {abu}, {byfy}, {abu ebu ibu}, etc.

Then there are those formed by a gadri plus a selbri: {lei barda mlatu},
{lo bruna be mi}, {la tsali}, {le ci moi}, etc.

Then there are those formed by {la} plus one or more cmevla: {la darves},
{la snan}, {la djan smit}, etc.

Then there are those formed by {li} plus a string of digits: {li pa},
{li renonomu pi'e pare pi'e pa}, etc.

Then there are the different varieties of quotes: {zo ki'a}, {lu mi klama li'u},
{lo'u pa ki ce valsi .i'a le'u}, {zoi ti whatever ti}, etc.

Then there are those formed by LAhE or NAhE BO followed by any sumti:
{la'e di'u}, {na'e bo lo mlatu}, etc.

Then there are those formed by any of the above with quantifiers,
connectives and relative clauses, and the special case of a quantifier
followed directly by a selbri: {mu bakni}, {mi .e do}, {ci le mu mlatu poi
cnita le jubme}, etc.

Those are basically all the kinds of sumti there are.
