Maybe something like:

           |
     batci | (fa) le gerku | (fe) le nanmu | (fi) (zo'e) | (fo) (zo'e)
| va (zo'e)
     ---------------------------------------------
           |            
           cu           


What {va} does here is add an unnumbered place to the 
place structure of {batci}.

The sentence structure would be slightly different if you 
had used {va} directly on the selbri, although the meaning 
would not change in this simple example.
