Only in a few special cases. For example, you can be practically
certain of place structures such as:
nunbroda: x1 nu x2 broda x3 x4 ...
rodgau: x1 gasnu lo nu x2 broda x3 x4 ...
rodmau: x1 zmadu x2 lo ka ce'u broda x3 x4 ...
and there are other affix-like components like nun-, -gau or -mau that
give pretty much predictable place structures.
But in general, for some arbitrary broda and brode you don't know
whether {rodybrode} means
x1 broda je brode x2 x3 ...
x1 brode lo broda x2 x3 ...
x1 brode x2 lo broda x3 ...
x1 brode lo nu x1 broda ...
and many other possibilities.
