Then what exactly is the role of the x2 of su'u? There exists an asshole
(whose?) that is in relationship {su'u broda kei} with what? If the what
is not itself the asshole, then what is it, and how does the asshole
come into it?

{le nu broda cu su'u broda kei lo fasnu}, i.e. there is an event
that is in relationship {su'u broda kei} with the event {le nu broda}.

If that is so, what event is that {lo fasnu}, if not {le nu broda} itself?

What is a bridi, exactly? Is a bridi a chunk of text or is it a proposition?
Should I say {le du'u broda cu bridi} or {lu broda li'u bridi}?
