It would seem that {dakau}, {zo'ekau} and {ko'akau} all rule out
{noda} as a possible answer. Thus {la djan djuno le du'u dakau
klama le zarci} could not be the case if {la djan djuno le du'u
noda klama le zarci}.

I would have said {frica} ~ {na dunli}  (different/not equal)
                                 {drata} ~ {na mintu} (other/not same)
