I was going to ask what you do with {y}.

I would propose that {y} be totally ignored, so
{zoi y gy ... gy} should be valid. Then you couldn't quote
it with {zo}, you'd have to say {zoi ly y ly}... But then
{.y.bu} would require special treatment... It's really weird
that you can't hesitate after certain words, especially
after zoi, which is a place where I expect hesitation, 
while you think of an appropriate delimiter.

In any case, responding to your question, yes 
{zo ca si co valsi} would be invalid. It is invalid now, 
according to grammar .300, but for a different reason.
