Yes, exactly so.

1. You said "you are fat" to me    do cusku lu do plana li'u mi
2. You said that I am fat          do cusku lo se du'u mi plana

#1 implies #2; #2 is less specific than #1, in that it does not give  
exact phrasing.

Why do you think you need to use some other abstraction than {du'u}?
