All cmavo in the same group as "coi" can take a name directly,
without "la" preceding.  So can "doi".

Here's a list of COI cmavo:

 be'e      COI      request to send
 co'o      COI      partings
 coi       COI      greetings
 fe'o      COI      over and out
 fi'i      COI      hospitality
 je'e      COI      roger
 ju'i      COI      attention
 ke'o      COI      please repeat
 ki'e      COI      thanks
 mi'e      COI      self-introduction
 mu'o      COI      over
 nu'e      COI      promise
 pe'u      COI      please
 re'i      COI      ready to receive
 ta'a      COI      interruption
 vi'o      COI      wilco
