If I understand correctly, all ZAhO cmavo are grammatically the same,
and can serve as sumti tcita and forethought connectives. So, if we
have, say, two sentences:

.i mi citka .ibo mi sipna

then (leaving alone all the stuff concerning veridical|/non veridical claims)
.i mi citka ba'o lenu mi sipna
will mean something like "I eat after the-event-of-my-sleeping is over".
similarly,
.i mi citka pu'o lenu mi sipna 
means "I eat before the event-of-my-sleeping starts"

But the thing I can't figure out is the meaning of the following:

.i mi citka co'u lenu mi sipna
.i mi citka za'o lenu mi sipna
.i mi citka di'a lenu mi sipna
.i mi citka de'a lenu mi sipna

or 

.i za'ogi mi citka gi mi sipna

co'omu'onai mi'e .alekseir.
