You want: li vei re su'i ci ve'o pi'i vei bi vu'u xa ve'o fe'i dau du li pa {li vei re su'i ci ve'o pi'i vei bi vu'u xa ve'o fe'i dau} and {li pa} are the two sumti, and {du} is the selbri. Another possibility is to avoid MEX altogether and use the ordinary grammar: {li pa selpi'i lo pilji be lo sumji be li re bei li ci be'o bei lo selsumji be li bi bei li xa li dau} mu'o mi'e xorxes
