You don't really need to bring in "djuno". "la .tom. du la .tomas."
and "la .tom. du la .tom." already have different meanings, even in
cases where they are both true. An "la .tom. du ri" has a third
meaning, because repetition of a name is not always anaphoric. Whereas
"la .tom. du ri" will always be true, "la .tom. du la .tom." might be
false if there are two different Toms involved.
