ko'a keeps its value until given a new one. However, goi just says that ko'a
and broda have the same value. So, I can say "ko'a goi ko'e" when neither is
assigned, then assign one and have them have the same referent. To get rid
of the old value, unfortunately, I believe it is necessary to unassign ALL
ko'a- and fo'a-series cmavo.
