No, as it stands it's incorrect, or at least misleading. "ke ... ke'e"
cannot be used in afterthought bridi connection.

Perhaps they meant "(as with "tu'e ... tu'u" in bridi connection)", or
"(as in forethought bridi connection)".

The contrast is with afterthought sumti and bridi-tail connections,
which do not allow the first term to be grouped with "ke ... ke'e".

That's probably a remnant of LALR(1) requirements, and we should
consider fixing it.
