"kei" by itself wouldn't work in this case. "kei" terminates "nu", but
not "lo", so "lo nu zutse ne'i le ricyzda gi'enai tavla kei zifre" is
just a sumti. "ku" would be the needed terminator in this case, but of
course "cu" is better. "cu" is always better than terminators.

It still makes sense to move a heavy x1 sumti after the selbri just
for clarity, so that you don't keep the listener wondering what the
selbri will be until the last minute.
