This came up during discussions of "ca'u". Suppose I'm facing north and Henry 
is facing east and Liza is south of Henry. One could try saying:

la lizbet. ninmu ri'u la xenrix. ma'i ri ti'a la xenrix. ma'i mi

The problem with that is that two sumti are stuffed into the "ma'i" place, and 
unless quantifiers are involved, order of sumti doesn't matter (although an 
unusual order may emphasize something). I propose this solution:

la lizbet. ninmu ri'u la xenrix. pe ma'i ri ti'a la xenrix. pe ma'i mi

This parses in both camxes and jbofi'e, and the prepositional phrase "ma'i mi" 
attaches to "ti'a la xenrix" and not to the selbri.

I don't know how to say this with a bare tense marker. "mi ga'uku pema'i le 
loldi ku zutse" doesn't parse (and I don't have a clue how to say it in 
Gahuku).
