OK. So how does go'i work, exactly, in the case of "go'i lo mi zdani"? Ordinarily it repeats the previous {bridi}, yes, and if you give it an article it can be used to refer back to a particular {sumti} in the previous {bridi} (as in, say, le se go'i). But what happens here, logically?

mu'omi'e latros.

 go'i works fine, as does "mi'o klama le zarci"
 If we are in fact  going home than you can say "mi'o klama [ba'e] lo
mi zdani" or "go'i lo mi zdani", maong other things
