Are you sure {nolraitru} is the best? It has traditionally been used for
"king"

> mu'i ledu'u mi djuno le du'u
> le nolraitru goi ko'a
> ganai minde ko'e goi lei panzi be lei remna ge'u

lo'e panzi be lo'e remna, (the first I'm not so sure about). It would be
better to call one {ko'a} and the other {fo'a}, otherwise it gets confusing.
Even better {ny} and {py}
is the ge'u not elidable? surely gi will close to the same level as {minde}?

> gi sabji fi ko'e fe lo tadji be lenu ko'e snada le te minde be fi ko'a
> keikei ko'a li'u

err, "I know that [blurb] about {ko'a}"??
