The grammar uses "tanru-unit".

The only problem (with both "tanru-unit" and "taurpau") is that the
construct in question need not be part of any tanru, it could be a
selbri all by itself. It may be part of a tanru, but need not be.

The advantage of "ziltau" (construed as "tanru be zi'o bei zi'o") is
that it removes any idea of modifiers and modificands, which is not
really part of the essence of a tanru-unit. The disadvantage is that
it can be quite confusing.
