The {pe'u} gobbles up the {nuzba} so you get four isolated sumti in 
that sentence: {pe'u nuzba} {le srera} {ko} {mi}, without a selbri.

I think you need either a {do'u} after the {pe'u} to close off the 
vocative, or add an addressee (e.g. {rodo}).

Also, {le srera} is the maker of the mistake... though I'm not sure 
whether {lo selsre} or {lo nunsre} is better for "the mistake".
