{lo broda poi brode poi brodi} happens to parse only because
a relative clause is allowed before ku and another one after
ku, so it parses as {lo broda poi brode ku poi brodi}.

{lo broda poi brode poi brodi poi brodo} does not parse.

{zi'e} should not really be necessary. I don't think any
ambiguity could arise from making it optional, but it would
still be useful because it makes many terminators elidable.
