Maybe tersku "I am told" is better than tirna for ti'e.
Can tirna really be used with du'u in that sense? If so, this
would be an example where the distinction nu/du'u changes the
meaning of the selbri.

Maybe jijnu for se'o?

If ca'e is for performatives, like the book suggests, then gasnu
would be appropriate, I think:

i ko'a cusku lu ca'e do doi djan speni do doi meris li'u
i ko'a gasnu le nu la djan speni la meris
i ko'a spenygau la djan la meris

Is that what ca'e means? If so, it should be glossed better.

jalge is not very informative for ja'o. We need something that
means "x1 concludes that x2 is true (based on evidence x3)".
jalge is not like that. Maybe something with jdice? cmujdi?
