How to say "I've met three men, one of them was fat and two of them was slim"?

 mi penmi lo ci nanmu .i pa ri plana .i re ri tolplana

"They/them" is more difficult when the referents have not been previously
referred to with a single sumti:

 Hillary met Barack. One of them sneezed.
 la xilyris cu penmi la barak .i pa xai cu senci

See <http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=xai> for a discussion
of {xai}.
