It's just LMUUT and URIUL smushed together, no?

So is this a proper Palauan way of saying this? Or is there a missing word like el or er?
Me ak luut uriul. Ma kluuturiul.

I have a theory that perhaps lmuuturiul is a contraction of the phrase lmuut er a uriul. Here is my logic:
If this is the case, then either there is no need for a new entry, or it might be good to put it as part of the lmuut word group.
I came across the word kluuturiul while looking through a Palauan hymnal (it says, "Ngdiak kluuturiul."). I looked up the word lmuuturiul, and though it is not found in the defined words, it appears once in a Bible verse.
I understand that it means something like "turn back." Has anyone heard of this word, or does anyone think that this is a case of hidden grammatical words? Is this worth an entry?
