Changing the semantics of {.i} after abstractions would be disastrous, 
which is why you'd need to explicitly use {tu'e}.

.i mi djica lo nu tu'e do klama lo mi zdani .ibabo mi'o samkei kansi'u tu'u

Like this, {tu'e} is essentially acting as LU, but the result of which 
is not a sumti, but a bridi.

.i mi'e la tsani mu'o
