[lojban] preposition whose object is a vocative phrase

[Pierre Abbat <phma@phma.optus.nu>]

I noticed [[xingu'e]] on Wikipedia, made a few changes (such as 
boldfacing "barat"), and then noticed the following sentence:

ko'a cu remoi barda gugde fi'o merli tadji lo prenu klani fi'o kansa mu'o le 
gigdo prenu gi'e zemoi barda gugde fi'o merli tadji lo tutra klani

This looks like a malgli xelfanva of something ("remoi barda", for instance, 
is supposed to mean "second largest"), but "mu'o" makes no sense at all, and 
the writer obviously meant something like "ji'i". I threw the sentence at 
jbofi'e and was surprised to see it parse. What does "fi'o kansa mu'o le 
gigdo prenu" mean?
