Can sumti follow vau in a simple bridi (grammatically, even if meaninglessly)? I'm trying to think of what selmaho is best for zo'au.
No, they can't.
I'm not sure about the koi'V series though. I was thinking
whether the "trailing prenex" (should that be called a
"postnex"?) should really reverse the order of quantifiers
or just have general precedence over the body but still in
the usual order. That way we can think of it as an
afterthought continuation of the prenex. So we could say:
da broda de zo'au ro da su'o de
With the meaning of:
ro da su'o de zo'u da broda de
or also:
ro da zo'u da broda de zo'au su'o de
Both orders would be possible I suppose (eventually there
could be a cmavo to specify which order we are using) but
it would be simpler to see it as just a continuation of the
prenex.
