Not one abstraction, but one selbri -- the selbri is a tanru composed of {nu
cusku lu coi li'u kei} and {te rinsa}.

You've closed the abstraction, but abstractions can be selbri and can enter
into tanru, so you need a bit more if you want to follow with another
possible selbri.

So, you either need to close the sumti by adding {ku}, or use {cu} (which
kind of "automatically" closes a lot of things before it).

And, as la .evgenis. pointed out, if you use either of thise, you don't need
the {kei} any longer. (But it's not wrong to keep it.)
