ko'a, ko'e, ko'i, ko'o, ko'u, fo'a, fo'e, fo'i, fo'o, fo'u (KOhA4)

Proposed definition

These are assignable pro-sumti. The referent of each word can be assigned using {goi}.

Examples

i le nanmu goi ko'a cu klama le zarci .i ko'a viska re nanmu goi ko'e joi ko'i .i ko'e joi ko'i ca casnu le jdima be le cipni

A man went to the market. He saw two men there. They were discussing the price of the birds.

vo'a, vo'e, vo'i, vo'o, vo'u (KOhA4)

Proposed definition

These are pro-sumti that refer to sumti in the outermost bridi of the sentence. Each of the series refers to a difference place

vo'a - The x1 of this bridi.

vo'e - The x2 of this bridi.

vo'i - The x3 of this bridi.

vo'o - The x4 of this bridi.

vo'u - The x5 of this bridi.

Examples

.i la risna noltruni'u cu zutse le vo'a nolstizu

The Queen of Hearts sat on her throne.

Issues

The vo'a-series cmavo refer to the sumti of the outermost bridi of the sentence. (This was left unspecified in CLL, and decided by a significant majority of usage.)

ri, ra, ru (KOhA5)

Proposed definition

These pro-sumti repeat previous sumti in the sentence. ri repeats the previous sumti. ra repeats a recent, but usually not the previous, sumti. And ru repeats an earlier sumti, to be determined from context.

Examples

.i ji'a la lutcezis zo'u ri na kakne le nu ficyju'o la ceris la amonti,ados

And as for Luchesi, he cannot distinguish Sherry from Amontillado.

.i ca lenu la gregor.samsas. co'a cikna gi'e co'u raktu senva vau ca lo cerni kei ra facki lenu ra vi le ckana ba'o binxo lo brabra cinki

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself in his bed transformed into a gigantic insect.

.i mi kucli ledu'u makau frica le xe fanva be ri le xe fanva be ru

I'm curious as to what differs from the translation of that and the translation of the thing you said a bit ago.
