It's correct, it's just that I wouldn't talk in terms of sets.  (BTW,
the {ro}s are not wrong, but confuse the issue, since there is only one
of each set, maybe you meant {lo'i ro glezdi}, which is also not needed
because {ro} is the default.)

You could have said:  {naku ro nungle cu gledzi}, or {su'o nungle na
gledzi}, which are a bit more explicit.  Or maybe you meant {su'o glezdi
na nungle}?  Or both?  {naku roda glezdi gi'o nungle}.

I would avoid sets and {du}, but that's just my prejudice.

I wasn't really really serious with that suggestion (only somewhat
really serious), but I doubt that learning an allomorph would be any
easier.  It's enough that we have to learn a lot of double rafsi, I
don't really want double cmavo on top of that.
