When
using {goi} it makes no difference whether the {ko’a} is the one that
comes first or second, as long as the terminators of the other things are in
the right place. For
example, if I wanted to say some things about my friend, more specifically the
one that plays reed instruments, the first time I referred to this person I
might say le mi
pendo poi pilno fi lonu zgike fe lo xagri ku’o ku goi ko’a or I
could say (meaning exactly the same thing) ko’a
goi le mi pendo poi pilno fe lonu zgike fe lo xagri ku’o ku In some
cases (at the end of a sentence, right before {cu}) the ku’o and the ku
can be elidable. This can be useful. Another reason for putting ko’a firs
might be for stylistic reasons. mu'omi'e
