Why {tcesau je ponjo daksti} and not {tcesau je ponjo je daksti}
or {tcesau ponjo je daksti} or {tcesau ponjo daksti}?

It seems that logically either both {je}s or no {je} would
make most sense, unless there is some reason for the special
grouping. I too might tend to use a single {je} sometimes,
but I don't know why.

Also, {le za'i lanxe .e le za'i kanro} or {le za'i lanxe gi'e kanro}
would seem to be more... balanced. :)
