 It's {ckule}, but other than that it's all correct.

{.iki'u lenu ko'a cpacu loi xlali teryru'e} is not a full bridi, it's just
one term. The grammar alows that, but a more complete way of
saying it would be for example  {.i go'i ki'u lenu ko'a cpacu
loi xlali teryru'e} or  {.iki'ubo ko'a cpacu loi xlali teryru'e}. In this
case {i ki'u bo} joins two same-level bridi, whereas {go'i ki'u le nu}
subordinates the second bridi.

I don't know if {cpacu loi xlali teryru'e} gets the right meaning
across. Maybe I'd say something like {ko'a na mansa fi lo cilre cipra}.
