I want to say doi djankac's question .i {the answer}.  I do not think doi is appropriate here. because others are following the discussion too. many times. two people will be asking the same question. I don't want to cull away the audience with doi! What word should I use?

The first thing that came to my mind is {se ra'a} "concerning ...",
but that's not in COI.

I want a once syllable word that can be said quietly so only one can hear...

One-syllable is going to be tough since there aren't that many
one-syllable cmavo...

How about {mu'o} "over (I have finished talking; I'm open to
responses)" or {be'e nai} (which is not in my ma'oste but which I
would understand as something like "I don't want/need to speak right
now")?

mu'o mi'e .filip.
