>{cu cliva}. Why {ko}?

It's late at night (almost 11 my time) so I can't follow all of my own
lojban, but I remember this one. I was going with the French in interpreting
it as 'therefore let all obscurity fly from you' but looking at my other
translations it seems newton was right - it will, you don't need to make it.
hence it should be .ije le cpifu cliva do

Why do I need cu's if there's nothing else that could be a selbri?
