{lo nu} seems to be in the wrong place. I suppose you mean something
like:

ua .u'i .a'u da'i la'e di'u preja lo drata se cmavo ze'u pu'o lo nu
la .lojban. co'a jitro lo do selsku

But I don't like this use of pu'o and ba'o to show the aspect of the
subordinate
clause in its tagged sumti ({co'a jitro} in this case) rather than the
aspect of
the main clause ({preja}) as one would expect from how other tags work.

For "until" I prefer to use "co'u": {ze'u preja co'u lo nu ly co'a jitro}.
