Yes, {ku}, but it's elidable, so it doesn't need to be explicit.
jboski doesn't always handle elidable terminators very well.

A term can folow another term. {cu'u [ku]} is a term and {fi'e ko'a} is
another term.

As Robin said, he meant only {cu'u ko'a}, it was a mistake in
editing.

{cu'u ku}  would mean something like "said by someone unspecified".

Yes, they can be connected with {je} or {joi}.
