But a quoted word is mentioned, not used in the relevant sense.

For example, if I say in English "What does "casa" mean in Spanish?"
I'm mentioning the Spanish word "casa", but I'm not borrowing it.
If I say "I went into the casa", then I'm using (borrowing) it.

What goes in the x1 of {me la'e zoi zoi spaghetti zoi}?
{lo spageti}, {lo ka ce'u spageti}, {lo si'o ce'u spageti ce'u},
something else?
