Another way would be {ko klama ti}, "come to this one (i.e. to this place)", but that's not really any simpler. > Would "do klama" or "ko klama" be sufficient? {do klama} is a statement, "you come" or "you go". {ko klama} is a command, "Come!" or "Go!". If context makes it clear which one you mean, it will be sufficient. Otherwise you need to specify: "Come here!" or "Go there!" You could also make a lujvo meaning strictly "come", for example {tifkla}, then you could say {ko tifkla}. That would be shorter, but not really easier. mu'o mi'e xorxes
