Here are two options:
*xy pa klani xy re li'o
*ko'a klani ko'e li'o
The second breaks down if there are more than ten places, at which point you
have to use "xi".

If there's an equals sign in the definition, you can read it as "goi":
xy pa goi fy pa finpe xy re goi fy re gi'e limna fi'o galtu xy ci goi my pa

mu'omi'e .piier.
