Re: [lojban] A use for {pe naku} ?

I can conceive of a meaning for {goi naku}:
{.i lo mlatu ku goi ko'a cu rinsa lo gerku .i lo mlatu ku goi naku batci lo gerku}
In that story, {lo mlatu goi naku} is referring to a cat other than ko'a.

However, I can't really see how {po'u naku} could be useful.

Also, xorxes, it seems like your interpretation of {pe naku} matches mine, from what I can see in those old discussions.

"po'u" is "poi du" (although it's hardly any shorter, so it's not
clear why it was ever assigned its own cmavo) so that would make "po'u
naku" "poi [ke'a] du [zo'e] naku". I guess with enough context it
could make sense.

"goi" is "noi ca'e du", so that would make "goi naku" "noi ca'e [ke'a]
du [zo'e] na ku". Meaningful, assuming you can figure out the referent
of "zo'e", but I can't at the moment see anything useful in it.
Probably equivalent to "goi na'e bo zo'e"
