I've got some non-authoritative guesses.

Me too. It's something like, "be made of meat that goes to work."
Since you might not be already. Reminds me of, "get your ass to work!"

> So, in general, my question is, how do you read {lo broda be ko cu brode}?
Make {lo broda be ko} true, and parse the sentence as with ko replaced
with do. But what's the actual rule in the grammar that should be made
true? The sumti-tail?

Be sure that there exists an interesting event of you reading.

'Look at a person; you will see he is a man.' These kinds of sentences
seem to want to become two sentences when translated into English.

They are quite delightful.

(Does this suggest a meaning for [sei mi to'e darxi se taxfu] the
meaning of {ko mo}? {lo du be ko cu mo}: 'Be the identity of
something; what's up?' But {lo du be ko} doesn't seem quite the same
as "ko".)
