For the x3, my understanding has been along the line of something like

 la .brad. la .andjelinas. mapti lo ka prami simxu
 (i.e. matching between two individuals)

rather than

 la .brad. lo ca'a speni be la .andjelinas. cu mapti lo ka srana la .andjelinas.
 (i.e. identifying one individual)

Can the x1 and x2 of "mapti" be the same referent?
