Ok, let's take an easier way:) I do have successfully parsed the
sentence. But it took a lot of "backtracking" -- about 3 minutes at my
poor organic cells powered brain.

As i remember (and probably i'm wrong) "ba" can be used as sumtcita,
so, failing at "no sumti after", it should try to add "baku" to
"ricfu", then to "ka", than to "zenba", than to "nu", every times
leading to "second selbri" failure at  "jalge". Or i just spend to
much time with computer programs:)?
