I don't think "lo" helps much here. The question is really about "mi'a
nakspe je fetspe". (Or "mi'a me zo'e noi ke'a nakspe je fetspe").
There are no clear official rules about how tanru logical connectives
work, but the obvious interpretation is that "ko'a nakspe je fetspe"
expands to "ko'a nakspe .i je ko'a fetspe". I would prefer "mi'a
nakspe jo'u fetspe" (or the more wordy "mi'a me lo nakspe jo'u
fetspe").
