Officially, there was an elided first "li'u", forced by the second selbri, and the "li'u" at the end was a second "li'u" unmatched with any opening "lu", so at that point the utterance becomes ungrammatical. In other words, the final "li'u" cannot force a previously elided "li'u" to disappear. This is all very mesy, and I don't think "li'u" should be elidable at all. mu'o mi'e xorxes
