The grammar of the bridi following =93sei=94 has an unusual limitatio= n: the
sumti must either all precede the selbri, or must be glued into the
selbri with =93be=94 and =93bei=94:
12.5) =A0la frank. prami sei gleki be fa la suzn. la djein.
=A0 =A0 =A0 Frank loves (Susan is happy) Jane.
This restriction allows the terminator cmavo =93se'u=94 to almost alway= s be
elided.
