There are also other ways to confuse people, so your example just adds
to that number. :) For another example, consider heavy use of FA and
SE:

fi la .man. la .filadelfias. te se ve klama fa la .ostin.

From a similar discussion at this group I gathered that jbofi'e
interprets {mi do dunda be ti} is correctly. For those who wonder,
here is how it works.

{dunda}
x1 gives x2 to x3

When you attach a sumti to brivla with {be}, it fills one of brivla's
places and deletes it from numbered place structure of selbri.

{dunda be ti}
x1 gives this to x2

Then {mi} and {do} fill the x1 and x2 of the resulting selbri.

{mi do dunda be ti} = {mi dunda be ti do}
I give this to you.

Although, my opinion about this interpretation is not backed by
official sources. I may need to read more.
