Is that an official rule? I hesitate between {xycy} and {cy}
for {le xunre cukta}, but I think I never use {xy}. I never
know what to do about {le se broda}, so I end up changing
it to {le selbroda} so as to use {sy}. I might have used
{syby} sometime, too. {le mi broda} is definitely {by}, isn't
it? I also have doubts with {le nu broda}, but it has to be
{ny}.
