[1] "You are a German person."
    {do dotco prenu}

[2] "You are the first German person I ever met."
    {do dotco prenu [???]}

{poi} cannot be used here, because {dotco prenu} isn't a sumti.

{du} seems a bit over-mathematical, and has an ill fame as malglico.

What is the most elegant way to translate [2] to Lojban, then? Or
there isn't?
