That's entirely incorrect.
{ma mo ma} means "Give me two sumti, and a relation that relates
them.". This is very different from {ma mo zo'e}, which means "Give
me a sumti and a relation that relates it to something unspecified".
Now, in either case, since there's a mo in there, you're probably
going to answer with a single full bridi, but technically the answer
should be a sumti, a bridi, and another sumti, as seperate
sentences.
