It cannot do "I need any doctor". Okay. Let's expand it: mi nitcu tu'a lo mikce = mi nitcu lo su'u co'e lo mikce = mi nitcu lo su'u da poi mikce zo'u co'e da which might be specifically mi nitcu lo nu da poi mikce zo'u mi se mikce da which is not the same as da poi mikce zo'u mi nitcu lo nu mi se mikce da. The first is "I need that there be a doctor that treats me"; the second is "There is a doctor that I need to treat me". phma -- .i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman.
