> Well, first of all, -bom- and -nom- work as opening and closing brackets,=
 the only difference being that they do something to the enclosed stuff. Th=
is is one clue it could be KE.

I agree that they /could/ be. I just did not see why they /must/ be. If you=
 are simply proposing that such would be the most natural (but not sole pos=
sible) fit for them, then I can proceed.

> Then, they can be skipped at the beginning or end. Try to do that with NU

"nunsla" skips "-kez-" at the end (well, it would not be possible in that f=
orm - it would have to be " zei kei", but that does not matter here).

Inserting "-kez-" between rafsi without a NU rafsi previous to it in the sa=
me word has undefined result, although it may or may not be grammatical. I =
suppose that it could imply "-suv-" at some indeterminate point in the word=
 beforehand (or maybe only at the beginning; possibly, we maybrequire at le=
ast one other rafsi to be between "-suv-" and "-kez-"), but then that kind =
of introduces implicit NU throughout the language via the veljvo, and that =
gets messy.
