I forgot the possibility of this in my reply to Lojbab. I must
say, I have no idea what, say, {le ka ce`u melbi ce`u zo`e zo`e}
means.

I also find it rather worrying that every single empty sumti
within a ka clause could in principle be filled with a ce`u.
And the only way to disambiguate is to fill every single
sumti! Bloody hell!
