How is this parallel? These are just the adjective forms and work with
everything.  Esperanto has no commitment to an underlying logic in these
matters.

<Is {me ko'a cu'o} something like "x1 is as likely as ko'a [under

Plausably.  So {memimoi} is "is in my place in the sequence...." maybe "is
saving my place in line" or so.  Not "is mine"
