zo y bu is invalid, for reasons previously discussed. Anything of the
form "zo X bu" is invalid.
Furthermore, zo y bu si si leaves a zo with nothing in it, so it's
guaranteed not to work.
However, "zo y bu si si da" comes out as
"ZO=( zo y bu si si ) zoClause=( da )".

Sorry, but there's no way I can get rid of ybu without the mandate of
the BPFK, as you are well aware.
