Actually, they are the purist form of borrowing, in that they make use

Yes, I have to admit I was thinking of {zoi}, which is to quote foreign
text, not to borrow it, and not of {la'o} which is indeed to borrow,
at least if we accept the CLL example {me la'o ly spaghetti ly} for
"x1 is a quantity of spaghetti", and forget about the ma'oste definition
which says it's for foreign _names_.
