That seems to be asking if there is a difference between {la djiotis.} and {la'e lu djiotis. li'u}. It would be really clear if the second one was {la'e lu la djiotis. li'u} because the la'e and the lu...li'u would essentially cancel out. Since 'djiotis.' on its own has to be a cmene anyway, I think there's no difference. -- Rob Speer
