3) terserspaji: sp2 is surprised by step st3 while traversing stairs, surprised either that it exists or that it doesn't exist; sp2 unexpectedly hits floor when expecting to step on step st3; sp2 unexpectedly hits step st3 when expecting to step on floor.

Every terserspaji must be an unexpected stepping, not a surprised stepper, because every terserspaji is a spaji and every spaji is a surprising/startling/unexpected event/action, and terserti are neither events/actions nor spaji.  Therefore, regardless of whether the arguments are mentioned in the order in which you intended their places to be (which I cannot ascertain because "x1" and "x2" are excluded), your place structure is flawed.

I propose this alternative (which includes the serti, also, as an argument):

x1=sp1 is an event/action of x2=sp2 unexpectedly stepping off stairs/stairway/steps x3=st2, instead of onto step x4=st3, or onto step x3=st4, instead of off stairs/stairway/steps x3=st2

4) And finally, an experiment. Here's yet another of these lujvo: {selsnemojmo'i}. What meaning do you think I have in mind for it?

I conjecture that it is "déjà vu," although {selsneselmojmo'i} is better, because what is recollected is the memory, not the entity that does the recollecting, and eliding one "sel" but not the other would be inconsistent.
