[lojban-beginners] leaving a sumti out



A sentence from Lojban Reference Grammar Chapter9:

la djan. klama le zarci .i la djan. go'i troci

Can "la djan" in the second sentence be left out since "go'i" should imply all sumti related to the selbri of the last sentence?

Also, can a repeating "ko" be left out, without connecting the selbri with "gi'e"?
That is, is

ko lebna ta .i dunda lo cnino vanju botpi mi

instead of

ko lebna ta .i ko dunda lo cnino vanju botpi mi

possible? Or would that "dunda" without "ko" loose the intended imperative sense?
