 pu broda = broda pu (ku) = broda pu zo'e = lo nu broda cu purci (zo'e)

 broda pu lo nu brode = lo nu broda cu purci lo nu brode

This works the same for BAIs:

 mu'i broda = broda mu'i (ku) = broda mu'i zo'e = lo nu broda cu se mukti (zo'e)

 broda mu'i lo nu brode = lo nu broda cu se mukti lo nu brode

Notice that "pu" = "fi'o purci", while "mu'i" = "fi'o se mukti".
