IMO it is confusing to start with. normally, an argument is a single
item -- you cannot fill a place twice.. instead you can fill it with,
for example: lo xunre .e lo blabi

-- my understanding of the grammar is that {lo xunre .e lo blabi} is a
single sumti,
and {lo xunre ku carmi fa lo blabi} has an undefined meaning.

In this vein, {ry .e ry fuzme lo nu..} is a way of expressing the
strange type of emphasis expressed above, in a more simple idiom.
