that someone (in this case yourself) is making a promise. You are
actually making the promise.
So "nu'e mi .e la lojbo kurji do'u go'o".
"lo ro djedi" is not a date, you want "ca" not "de'i".

And "ca ro (lo) djedi", unless you are content to do it at some single
point in time valid for all days.
"Add a new oath-taker to this here oath-taker"?

If you mean "a new commitment to this commitment" then its "lo cnino
se nupre lo dei se nupre", but maybe you are promising to add adepts,
I don't know.
"ca lo cabdei"
> .i ganai mi tavla fi no da de'i lo cabdei gi mi tavla fi lo vi nupre
So, either you talk about something, or you talk about yourself?
