la and cusku di'e

  A B C zo'u
= (zo'u) ... zo'au A B C
= A zo'u ... zo'au B C
= (zo'u) B zo'u ... zo'au C zo'au A
= (zo'u) (zo'u) (zo'u) ... zo'au C zo'au B zo'au A
= A zo'u zo'u ... zo'au C zo'au B
= A zo'u C zo'u ... zo'au zo'au B

I think this is nice, and also the Right Thing for the
interpretation of several zo'u-zo'au, but I have my doubts
about usability of the forms that require forethought,
i.e. more than one zo'u. (Several zo'au is ok, because
that's afterthought.) Also, not all orders are obtainable.
For example, you can't present the terms in BAC order or
CAB order, can you? Largest scope must always appear at
one of the ends.
