For some (admittedly rare) texts you don't have the option of adding
".i" nor "ni'o" at the beginning. For example ".aionys." is a valid
text, ".i .aionys." is not. "nai" is a valid text, ".i nai." is not.
But I won't press this point because I would want both of those to be
valid.

In any case, the optionality of initial ".i" is a different thing from
the elidable terminators. The elidable terminators in a sense can be
said to be there even when not explicit, the optional ".i/ni'o" is not
really there in the same sense.

Well, a text formed from a concatenated string of conversational texts
is no longer a se cusku with a well defined cusku and a well defined
te cusku.
