Here's an example of {kau}. I don't understand how you use it.
I would have said:

  mi na djuno le du'u makau se cmene <<lo'u juhi lobypilno le'u>>


My sentence has the same number of syllables, and is more clear because
it doesn't need a {tu'a}.

What would you expand yours to, if you had to make the tu'a explicit?
