Poe: My _manner_ had convinced them. Xor: le mi se tarti ba'o birtygau py And: My conduct had been verified by them. "le mi se tarti" is not that great a rendering of "_manner_"; there should be a "ba'e" in there, and "se tarti" doesn't quite mean "manner" (i.e. not what you do but how you do it).
Agreed about the {ba'e}. The gi'uste suggests that the x2 of
{tarti} is the manner ("x1 behaves/conducts oneself as/in-manner x2"),
so {se zukte} would be what you do, and {se tarti} how you do it.
