ko'a and ko'e are x1 and x2 of brode; ko'i and ko'o are x2 and x3 of broda.

In my sentence, "mi", "lo nu kargau le vorme kei", and "lo nu darxi ri" are 
x1-x3 of "troci", and "le bartu" is x2 of "klama". x1 of "klama" is unfilled. 
I could be trying to open the door so that someone else could go out.
