Can you explain a bit more?
The idea is that {LE broda} can be seen as an abbreviation
of {LE xe ka broda}, where the syntax allows it:
{LE xe ka mi djuno ma'u du'u ke'a brodu}
and {LE xe ka ro pendo be ke'a cu brodu}
and {LE xe ka ke'a e mi klama}
cannot be abbreviated thus.
The scheme does not offer abbreviations for se/te/ve ka,
though Nick may eventually magic one up.
