{vomoi} or {vomoi pagbu}. {vomo'o} is an indicator, not a selbri.

That still groups as (lo vomoi) jo'u (lo mumoi pe LFB). To get the
other grouping you need {vu'o}: {(lo vomoi jo'u lo mumoi) vu'o pe LFB}.

You could also join them at the brivla level:
{lo (vomoi jo'u mumoi) pagbu be LFB}

Actually, {li xo} was correct, but you need {cu}:
{le tcika cu du li xo} or {le tcika cu du ma}.

{xo} is a digit, so you need {li} to make a sumti out of it.
