ro mi'o = mi .e do

While I agree with this suggestion (as we already discussed on IRC), I disagree with this equation. Instead ro mi'o = ro mi .e ro do. If the 3 speakers together carry a piano and the 3 listeners together carry a piano then {mi .e do bevri lo pipno} is true while {ro mi'o bevri lo pipno} is false.

mi'e la latro'a mu'o

Note that this statement is based on a {jo'u}-connected form of {mi'o}, which is not how the word is defined in CLL. Without this, {ro mi'o} is almost always just {mi'o}, since there is typically only one mass of {mi'o}.

mi'e la latro'a mu'o
