I think you're right and Lojbab is mistaken on this one, but
I don't have my references here at work to look it up.

I seem to remember a discussion on this where someone suggested
that (to use your example) le karce and le dargu would act
like appositives, supposedly naming the same thing (and I
forget the cmavo which would do this directly: po'u?  no'u?
something like that maybe...)
