.skamyxatra

"{mi cu dunda}" is actually perfectly grammatically correct.  (It's
unnecessarily verbose and arguably bad style, but if that's your sole objection
to it, you might want to look in the mirror.)  "{cu}" means "the {bridi}'s main
{selbri} starts here," which implies the termination of anything before it,
rather than termination being the primary concept and the main {selbri} aspect
secondary.  The only (non-obvious) grammatical restriction on "{cu}" is that it
must be preceded by at least one term in the sentence, where a "term" can be a
{sumti} (including descriptor {sumti} and pro-{sumti}), a termset, a {sumti}
tagged with a {sumti tcita}, a bare BAI KU, a NA KU, or even a FA KU.
