Yeah, I noticed this in your _Alice_, and was going to comment, but
didn't. (.i .oi lerci tcika caku) I think this is self-consciously
experimental, and I don't like
it. In the context in Alice you used it (The Duchess took Alice's arm in
hers, I think), Lojban offers a much nicer solution:

zu'i pe mi

Better than {zo'e pe mi}, because it says, not just "something of mine",
but "something of mine --- and yes, you've guessed correctly what."
