coi rob.
I came up upon the same problem with {lo} and was directed to this site:
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=How%20to%20use%20xorlo
From what I gather, it's becoming the standard, in its own time. It makes sense anyway.
fe'o mi'e cmacis.

I recently started learning Lojban, and I just joined the Lojban
beginners' list. I'm working through Robin Turner and Nick Nicholas's
_Lojban for Beginners_. May I ask a couple of questions about Lojban
grammar?
First, I'm puzzled about the relationship between "po'e" and "po". I
understand that "po'e" can be used for unique inalienable possession.
My hands are only mine and can't stop being mine, so I say "lo xance
po'e mi". Is "po'e" used for inalienable possession that isn't
unique? My father can't stop being my father, but he's also my
sister's father. Can I say "lo patfu po'e mi", or should I say "lo
patfu pe me" (or "lo mi patfu")?
Second, I saw some posts on the lojban.org front page suggesting that
the meaning of "lo" has changed. Is _Lojban for Beginners_ up to
date? If not, is there a summary of the change that a beginner would
understand?
Thanks,
Rob Hughes
