One way is to use "vu'o", as Lindar said. Another trick, is to put "ko'a" f=
irst:

  ko'a goi le plise jo'u le najnimre cu casnu .i ko'a sanga

In this case, if you wanted ko'a to be just le plise, you would need
to use "ge'u", the terminator for PE:

  ko'a goi le plise ge'u jo'u le najnimre cu casnu .i ko'a sanga

The assignable variable can go on either side of the assignment
phrase, so if you want conciseness, put it first for multiple sumti
and last for single sumti.

mu'o mi'e xorxes
