The grammar of the bridi following “sei” has an unusual limitation: the
sumti must either all precede the selbri, or must be glued into the
selbri with “be” and “bei”:
12.5)  la frank. prami sei gleki be fa la suzn. la djein.
       Frank loves (Susan is happy) Jane.
This restriction allows the terminator cmavo “se'u” to almost always be
elided.
