Actually, "cu" (or alternatively "kei" or "vau") is not elidable
there. Without them you get the single sumti:

lo nu la .lojban. zenba lo ka ricfu ba [ku] [vau] [kei] jalge [ku] loi
nu do pilno [vau][kei] [ku] [kei] [ku]

It sometimes seems like tenses can do the job of "cu", but they don't always.
