I think you want {vo'a}, but I'd have to see the whole sentence. Either that 
or {lo no'a}. My example of those is {la djan. klama le zdani be vo'a pu le 
nu la meris. no'a} "John went to his house before Mary did", versus {la djan. 
klama le zdani be vo'a pu le nu la meris. no'a ra'o} "John went to his house 
before Mary went to hers".
