Should this be {le fetspe pe vo'a}? Jbovlaste gives the x2 as
'speni3', which is law/custom/tradition/system/convention.
Nah, that's clearly a bad definition. There doesn't seem to be
any reason to drop the x2 of {speni} in {fetspe}. If one did
drop it, it would seem that the meaning of the lujvo would have
to be {speni be lo fetsi} instead of {fetsi je speni}.
