I think maybe:

   lo'e remna cu se jinzi le ka lo'e jmive panzi
   cu jbena ce'u zi'o zi'o

As opposed to:

   lo'e remna cu se jbena lo'e jmive panzi zi'o zi'o

which describes what happens without saying that this is part
of what it takes to be human.

The alternatives are all too cumbersome...

Yes, you're right.

Using that and not using {lo'e} or {zu'i} with the related
meaning, I don't think it can.

I have admitted that {le du'u} and others are not ideal, but
I can't quite bring myself to switching to {tu'o du'u} yet.
Too shocking a change from what I'm used to.
