I'm curious about what translation software is recommended to do with pronouns that do not have context:

[She] gave it to [her].

[ri] and [ko'a] have nothing to point to
and
[zo'e] seems too vague

By far the best method would be 

{lo da'e fetsi pu dunda lo bi'unai dacti lo de'u fetsi}

or

{ra poi fetsi pu dunda ra poi dacti ra poi fetsi}

If there are two women it's better to mark them with letterals otherwise it'd be too vague and relatively a useless phrase in English.

There is a proposal:

http://mw.lojban.org/lmw/%22le%22_as_an_anaphorical_particle

Out of context the sentence means: [a female] gave it to [another female].
Would [lo ninmu] be appropriate?
How can we indicate [another female] or is it implied in {lo ninmu cu pu dunda zo'e lo ninmu}?

This one works too of course.

or shorter {lo ninmu pu dunda fi lo ninmu}

 

:D
