Re: [lojban-beginners] Checking my intuition; how would you say this?

In the lojban, I opt for precision over the parallelism:

{.i mi tatpi le'a ge lo si'o xadni gi lo si'o sipna}

Is {le'a} appropriate here?
Is {si'o} appropriate? (I initially went with {su'u})
I seem to recall the fact that {.i mi tatpi le'a lo si'o ge xadni gi
sipna} means something fundamentally different, but I can't recall
what; I'd prefer to use this phrasing if it still expresses what I
mean, since it's more compact and doesn't repeat {lo si'o}.
