After {ne} you need a sumti, it's like {goi}.

Yes, I understood what you meant. As I said in my reply, I find
the fu'ivla in question quite ugly, not only because it's based
on English pronunciation, but because I don't think fu'ivla are
meant for that kind of thing. That's what lujvo are for.

It's not needed, you're right. But since the other conjunctee
was a {lei}...

No they can't. Another of those that should be made legal if the
parser can handle it.

Yep.

I meant {sepi'o} there.
