My first impression is also that it's impossible in Kēlen. But trying,
I can come up with a possible translation of 'Get up out from in under
there." which would be:
ñi rā le ōl rū xō mē tā ēmma kā
NI (change of state)
rā to
le me
ōl up
rū from
xō there
mē in
tā under
ēmma out
kā (command)
"Get up to me out from in under there."
I guess I should have made 'out' a single syllable word. :)
