So the second "sumti" ti in mi peti ti becomes the first "sumti" of the next construction "ti tshau ta".
I wonder whether it's possible to do so in Lojban. May {be} or {.i ri} can do the trick

>Pandunia ... lacks other complex grammatical structures ...

while lojban mandates them. So, in that example, it's hard to ?factor? the sumti out of the abstraction. In some specific cases you can get close enough with:

1. common set of sumti with 2 «bridi tails» - with reversed order, common comes first
2. NOI, with the hardcoded semantic
