No offense to Stela - I like yours better. 
In Alice in Wonderland, there is this sentence (I think I wrote it, but I'd
have to check the CVS log to be sure):
Why, I haven't had a wink of sleep these three weeks!
ze'e le jeftu be li ci mi sipna noda
(ISTR a "ku" or something after "ci")
Here "noda" is in the undefined x2 of "sipna" as if it were the wink place. If
the usage in the Book is normative, it means "For the infinitely long three
weeks, I haven't slept anywhere!".

I honestly think that it was a mistake on the author's part, and s/he thought sipna did have a location x2. Also, might I suggest editing that to {... ti'u noda}?
 
There is a revision of the CLL in progress at http://dag.github.com/cll/.
