An internal grammar for the construction, and then making the
construction a free indicator, is doable.

Yeah, that would be useful.
 
But in that case it won't be
of help for fixing something that is grammatically broken, like
SI/SA/SU are meant to do. For example {mi kjama le zarji lo'ai kjama
sa'ai klama le'ai} will parse as "{mi} followed by uninterpretable
gibberish", so it will never get to a higher level for interpretation.

It will when you are talking to a human.
