If it's modelled on lo'e ... le'u, it should simply treat them as all
empty words, i.e. ignore their meaning.

That would replace a "zo" with a "sa'ai" ("zo" and  the second "sa'ai"
are just empty words, not parsed with their function).

Replaces "lo'u" with "le'u sa'ai".

First come, first served. The first magic word is the one with the magic.
