As I understood it, "la djan. djuno le du'u makau klama" meant something like John knows the/an answer to "Who came?" Without implying that he knows the complete answer to that question. And, of course, if both Bob and Alice came, that would be true even if John only knew that Bob came. co'omi'e xarmuj.
