Discussion of "nu bu"

Comment #1: e'o sidju mi
gleki (Fri Jan 30 08:11:54 2015)

nu bu, ni bu, ka bu, du'u bu

Please, help me find a better phrasing for these letterals.

They are to be used to refer to the last sumti starting with LE NU that is
complete at the moment of using this letteral.

I added a rephrased English definition, what do you think?

1. As cryptic as mine.

2. " sumti that started with a nu-abstraction" is not very true. What
about "lo ca ui nu broda". Isn't it "nu bu" as well. But it doesn't start
with "nu-abstraction". And sumti can't start with NU in general. They
start with LE or are KOhA. Additionally what is "nu-abstraction"? Yet
another term never and nowhere explained.

Something more verbose is needed imo.
