"muvdu" and "klama" have the same place structure except for k5, the vehicle. 
So "muvdu" and "klama fu zi'o" are equivalent. "le se drata" is "one" in 
a "one ... the other" construction.

Other languages' versions:
French: blanc bonnet, bonnet blanc (white bonnet, bonnet white)
Hungarian: egyik kutya, másik eb ("kutya" and "eb" both mean "dog")
Hungarian: egyik tizenkilenc, másik egy híján husz (one is nineteen, other is 
one less than twenty)
I've translated the Hungarian sayings into Spanish as "El uno es perro, el 
otro es can" and "El uno es diecinueve, el otro es undeveinte".
