Re: [lojban] Imperative mi'o?



{ko'oi} is generic an imperative/hortative attitudinal and covers not only commands, but suggestions, desire, hope, obligation, permission.
Actually I'm a little confused about that. How can {ko'oi} be so broad if {ko} = {do ko'oi} as per the ko'oi proposed definition? Is {ko} also that broad?

{mi'o e'u klama} is what you would probably choose.
{e'u} is more specific than {ko'oi}.

{ko'oi} is generic an imperative/hortative attitudinal and covers not only commands, but suggestions, desire, hope, obligation, permission.

Say you were at a dinner with some Lojbanic friends.  You and your significant other must leave early for whatever reason.  You want to look at him/her and say "mi'o klama" so that all listening know that you mean just yourself and your partner.  But at the same time, you want it to come across as an imperative "ko klama".
 
How would you handle this?  mi'oko?  Can you make personal sumka'i other than "do" imperative?  (eg: do'oko, ma'ako etc?)
 
Or would you just decide that it's foolish to take the imperative with your significant other and instead say ".e'o mi'o klama"?
