A: la'e di'u smuni zo ...
B: ?

What does B say? Suppose B wants to complete A's sentence with
"blablabla". Suppose the "continue preceding speaker's utterance"
cmavo is "di'ai". So:

B: di'ai blablabla

Now the full text is "la'e di'u smuni zo di'ai blablabla". But that's
not what B wanted. So B has to say:

B: di'ai si zo blablabla

which gives "la'e di'u smuni zo di'ai si zo blablabla".

Since "si" will delete "zo di'ai", then B gets what they wanted.
That's what I meant by a trick with SI.

But I now realise there's a problem with that too. What if B said
"di'ai" by mistake, and he wanted to delete it? Now B's text will be
construed as continuing A's, and B has no way out of it. I suppose B
has to resort to "fa'o" then to get out of A's text.
