I don't actually recall any examples of that ever happening yet. Most
lujvo I see people using seem to have a different source. Do you have
an actual example in mind or are you just repeating the theory?

No "ku" there! Terminators could be "boi lo'o me'u", but they can all be elided.
Not strictly a tanru though, because of the "nu", but the thing inside
the "nu" is a tanru.
So what's a "zero type of language"?

But mumdei actually happens to work quite well here, "tatpi lo djedi
be li mu", "tired from the five-day long period (the work-week)".
