Notice that you want {du} here, not mintu. The x1 and x2
of mintu are two identical (by some standard) but separate
things. For example {la xit mintu la djan lo ka makau jvinu
ce'u}, "Heath is identical to John in how they look". Heath
and John are identical in how they look, but Heath is not
John. If you want to relate two sumti with the same referent,
then you have to use {du}: {la xit du le pa nanmu} "Heath
is the one man (i.e. the one man I have in mind)".
