I probably wouldn't say something like that any more than I would say
something like "la xantyde'i po'o xaskoi" or "la xantyde'i ji'a
xaskoi": "the Ivory-only Coast"? "the Ivory-too Coast"? similarly:
"the Ivory-included Coast"? It's not completely meaningless, it's just
unusual to change names like that.

ga'o and ke'i belong in the same group with po'o, ji'a, mi'u, si'a, ku'i.

mu'o mi'e xorxes
