Similarly, it breaks the likes of

mi catlu lo nu lo gerku do jersi [[kei] ku] noi xajmi mi

whether or not quantifiers are present. {ku} is never elidible in such a 
context then (in addition to inner NOI being impossible).

It's a pity, really. (because it breaks so much usage and especially 
because it is hard to fix with search-and-replace, unlike some other 
proposed changes.)
