How does {le du} (something like the thing which I describe as being
equal to some thing(s) (which are obviously itself, because they
are equal to it...)) differ from {le co'e}?

(That is, aside from being more esoteric).

It seems to me like they are the same, except that {le co'e} is
more "honest" (for lack of a better word).

Of course, in *real* usage, in a case where the referent wasn't
recently mentioned, you'd probably say "zo'e".  (If it were mentioned,
you'd use zo'e or ri/ra/ru/lerfu).
