The two sentences below were not my doing! These were the proposed earlier in the thread by Pierre Abbat and Luke Bergen, respectively.
Both contain a "sel" prefix, which I know has something to do with a "second conversion," but in this context, I can't find an explanation for why it's necessary-- we're just making a tanru right? I've skimmed both CLL and level 0. If someone can help me understand why 'sel-' is added to these, I would be very grateful!

I think you're confusing the place structures of "cpedu" and "preti". lu ma
zasti? li'u preti zo'e mi do .iku'i mi cpedu lu ko ga'orgau le canko li'u do.
