That's just mean.  :)

Yes:

text
   sentence
   |- sumti6
   |  |- CMAVO
   |  |     LE: lo
   |  |- tanruUnit2
   |     |- CMAVO
   |     |     NU: nu
   |     |- sentence
   |        |- ZOPre
   |        |  |- CMAVO
   |        |  |     ZO: zo
   |        |  |- CMAVO
   |        |        CU: cu
   |        |- CMAVO
   |        |     CU: cu
   |        |- BRIVLA
   |              gismu: cizra
   |- CMAVO
   |     CU: cu
   |- BRIVLA
         gismu: cizra

IOW: {{lo nu zo cu cu cizra} cu cizra}
