#... and that leads me to a question. {la nanmu poi barda} is Mr Great=20
#Man, and {la nanmu ku poi barda} is the great Mr Man. I gather {la=20
#poi barda ku'o nanmu} is also {la nanmu ku poi barda}? And with=20
#cmene, I can't do this trick, can I --- I can't distinguish between=20
#*Charles Great {la karolus poi barda} and the great Charles *{la=20
#karolus ku poi barda} --- let alone *{la poi barda karolus}.

I seem to recall asking this question & getting the answer you give.

One point: I would do "the great Mr Man" as {la nanmu ku noi
barda}, and would take {la nanmu ku poi barda} to mean=20
"the great member(s) of the group called Mr Man".
