"do'anai", but I think it would go after klama in that case:

ko'a klama do'anai
Of the things I can say of her, the least is that she goes.

ko'a do'anai klama
Of the goers, the least I can mention is her.

do'anai ko'a klama
The least I can say is that she goes.

I would say "su'omai" is something like "in some (discourse) position"
or "somewhere along the line". Maybe something like:

ma klama
"Who goes?"
.i la djan pamai .e la alis re mai klama
"In the first place (I should mention) John, secondly Alice"
.i ko'a su'omai klama
"and I should mention her too, somewhere along the line."
