More precisely "mi citka ba lo nu mi xagji" is just an expa= nded
version of "mi ba citka".

In both cases you are saying that the eating happens after.

But after what? Well, unless you specify, or context says otherwise,
it's after the present. But you can always use a different reference point, like "lo nu mi xagji".

In my understanding, it's just the same. Instead of saying that t= he
eating happens later, you are now saying that it gets completed. But
later than what? Completed when? You can add that specification with a
sumti if you want to.

Y would be the point at which X is completed.

The obvious relationship being simultaneity (for "fe'e mo= 9;u" the
obvious relationship would be spatial coincidence).

mu'o mi'e xorxes
