I vaguely recall that Athelstan may have used both series in his > translation of Saki's _The Open Window_ but I can't recall the specifics. I used {ko'a} and {fo'a} in my ckafybarja story. I had {ko'a} in the main story, and used {fo'a} (etc) in the story-within-a-story. Not completely realistic: why would the storyteller choose to start with the {fo'a} series just on his own? But I did it anyway, to cut down on confusion. ~mark
