Perhaps some advice one could give to = newcomers is to ignore the
confusing discrepancies and go with whatever makes more sense to
the= m. It is extremely hard to come up with an incorrect use of {lo} in
xorl= o anyway, because all {lo} does is change a selbri into a sumti,
a purel= y syntactical matter.

Here is an example of something that was very hard to say beforeand now is easy:

  mi terpa ci da no'u lo jukni .e lo ger= ku .e lo nu le tsani cu farlu
  le stedu be mi
  = "I fear exactly three things: spiders, dogs and that the sky fall
  on my head."

mu'o mi'e xorxes
