#"klama" is however, a brivla, so "sumti zo klama" makes sense.

I see nothing wrong with "zo klama sumti ma": although "klama"
is not a valid sumti, "zo klama" is. It might, for example be a sumti
of brivla "melbi", say.

"ma cu sumti zo klama" is also okay, though. "What is sumti of the
predicate-word 'klama' [e.g. in the sentence "la djan klama"]?"
Answer =3D "lu la djan li'u" (or whatever the appropriate quote cmavo
are).
