It's impotant though. For example, compare:

(1) ca lo prulamnicte mi tavla su'o da poi do nelci ke'a
"Last night I talked to someone you like."

(2) ca lo prulamnicte mi citka su'o da poi do nelci ke'a
"Last night I ate something you like."

You want to accept (1) but reject (2), even though to me they have the
exact same logical structure. You would need to say something like "ca
lo prulamnicte mi citka su'o da poi ckaji su'o de poi do nelci ke'a"
instead of (2).

Or consider:

(3) mi zukte lo se zukte be do
"I'm doing what you are doing."

You have to say: "mi zukte lo ckaji be lo se ckaji be lo se zukte be do."

mu'o mi'e xorxes
