Looks OK to me, but I initially tried to read {le cukta} as the 3d place of
{troci}. Which presumably it couldn't be unless there was a {kei} before
it. I was just wondering if there were ways to make this kind of thing
clearer, e.g. not eliding the {kei}, so {lenu fanve le cukta kei} is easily
seen as one sumti-place. OTOH, I don't like trailing terminators ....
