Re: [lojban] [nomik] pa mo'o ci moi javni

mi mutce nalmo'i .oi sai tu'a zo ju

But {ju} is unfortunately logically incorrect for "despite" (as I understand "despite"). It's kinda like {seku'i} (if {ku'i} weren't a UI):
"A [and] however B" vs "A [and] despite B"
In both cases, "A and B" is entailed, however the first implicates that A usually entails not B, and the second implicates that B usually entails not A.

Also, am I using {du'u} correctly? I tend to think of it when I am tempted in English to say "that" or "the fact that" (and {nu} when I use the infinitive)

That reminds me that we need to nail down that whole "despite"
thing; .oi

What you did is just fine; I also reccomend {ju} to your attention;
one of the few places I like logical connections for causal-type
thoughts.
