1.  How would you mark a {ko} that's an order?  I use {e'o} for
requests.  For "You must do this!" I've been using {ga'i}, but it's
a tad unsatisfying.

2.  How would you say "that's right!" or "you're right!", i.e. when
the kid brings me the object I've asked for?  I use {i'e} for lots
of situations like that, but that doesn't convey correctness
particularily.  Is {drani} OK here?  I'm not clear on what can do in
the x1.
