  Oddly, although I too prefer ".iseri'abo", I always put a space before NU cmavo.  I expect it's because of my English language background, I think of it as "the event-of", rather than "the-event-of".  Similarly, I tend to not separate it in phrase like "lemi", "levi", etc. because eI think of them with the single English words "my" and "this", respectively….

I tend to separate "le" from others in a phrase like "le mi cukta" so that the fact that "mi" modifies "cukta" and "le" is the descriptor of "mi cukta" as a whole is clearer: { le | mi cukta } rather than { lemi | cukta }.

I prefer ".iseri'abo" to ".i se ri'a bo" since it's semantically a specific version of ".i", altogether mediating two sentences rather than separately being within and constituting one sentence: { mi pu gunka | .iseri'abo | mi ca tatpi } rather than { mi pu gunka | .i | se ri'a bo mi ca tatpi }.
