Somebody at one point pointed out that he didn't see any use for
{po'e}, since the "obvious" cases (including the ones usually used as
examples - e.g. people's limbs, a book inalienably connected with its
author, etc.), {be} will work in the "obvious" brivla.
Can someone think of a case for {po'e} that can't be replaced by {be}?
