Exactly. We might as well list all the different varieties of selbri too:

- brivla
- members of GOhI:  {go'i}, {go'a}, {du}, etc.
- NU <sentence>: {nu mi klama le zarci}, {du'u ma kau klama}, {ka melbi}, etc.
- <number>/<lerfu-string> MOI: {ci mei}, {ny moi}, etc.
- me <sumti>: {me mi}, {me la djan}, etc.
- me <sumti> MOI: {me mi moi}, {me le do patfu moi}, etc.
- nu'a <mex>

They can all be combined with each other directly, with connectives
and brackets, modified with SE/JAI and NAhE, have their arguments
filled with be-bei, tagged with tenses/modals/negation.

Any selbri can be used to form a sumti by combining it with a gadri.
