I think we have a ready answer to this one.
{fe da fa ko'a e ko'e ganse} means they sense the same thing, but
{ko'a e ko'e ganse da} doesn't. That much is uncontroversial.
{jo'u} isn't settled, but afaik the arguments would all point to
word order not making a difference and jo'u entailing that ko'a
and ko'e sense the same thing.
But yes, further discussion of unsettled issues would go Jboske.
