I always have doubts about that use of "poi" because it involves a kind of
metalinguistic restriction rather than an ordinary restrictive clause. It
restricts the set of possible answers, but the straightforward application
of the poi and ma rules should be that "ma" is asking for a sumti which,
when restricted by the poi-clause, fits the argument place. So I would
prefer "ma noi" here. Similarly with demonstratives "ti poi", etc. "
