From the place-structure of "valsi", shouldn't "zoi gy. gnome .gy" not 
go into the X2 place of fu'ivla instead of into X4?:

.i zo cridrnoma fu'ivla zoi gy. gnome .gy le glibau

I wonder if there shouldn't actually go an abstract cmavo (e.g. du'u) 
in front of the "zoi gy. gnome .gy"

I don't see how any of the two would be less acceptable, well except 
"zo" is just much more elegant.

If I close with "mu'o" instead of "co'o" , does this imply I should 
leave out "coi" in my next mail (unless I greet someone I have not 
specifically greeted yet)?

Oh, now that I've been reading this summary, I start to remember that 
episode.
