For the record the way I (provisionally) implemented this in camxes-exp
goes like this:

(LOhAI spaces? (!LOhAI !LEhAI any_word)*)? (LOhAI spaces? (!LOhAI !LEhAI
any_word)*)? LEhAI spaces?

Basically, lo'ai and sa'ai are like lo'u in that they really can't
occur on their own. But zero, one or two "lo'ai *"/"sa'ai *" clauses can
come before a le'ai.

Currently, jbovlaste will accept data for 70 languages.
