It depends on what we mean by "sumti".

In the EBNF grammar, {mi joi do} is a "sumti", so both
{mi joi do} and {mi} begin at the same place. But {ri} 
presumably only picks from what the EBNF grammar calls 
"sumti-6", and there can't be two of those beginning
together, I think.

sumti-6 = 
(LAhE # | NAhE BO #) [relative-clauses] sumti /LUhU#/
| KOhA #
| lerfu-string /BOI#/
| LA # [relative-clauses] CMENE ... #
| (LA | LE) # sumti-tail /KU#/
| LI # mex /LOhO#/
| ZO any-word #
| LU text /LIhU#/
| LOhU any-word ... LEhU #
| ZOI any-word anything any-word #
