I would say it's a matter of information structure, "lo" marking the
topic and "cu" the comment.
(See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic%E2%80%93comment= )
In "lo nixli cu limna" you are talking about girls and saying that
they are swimmers, in "lo limna cu nixli" you are talking about
swimmers and saying that they are girls.
That makes se= nse. Now I can compare it with {zo'u} 
"nixli je limna" is more
complex: you are talking about something implicit in the context, and
making the compound claim that they are girl swimmers.

"noi" introduces an separate clause, which is not part of the main
claim. It will usually be incidental information, or something the
speaker is taking for granted rather than advancing as a claim. The
noi-clause has its own independent illocutionary force too, so you
could make it a question or a command while the main clause is a claim
or vice versa.

It sounds like "me": "ko'a me ko'e"
