Why is "doi" in DOI, while "mi'e" is in COI? 2. "la nanmu" means "ko'a poi cmene fa zo nanmu ke'a", while "coi nanmu" means "coi do [p]oi nanmu fa ke'a". I cannot work out from the Woldy Codex whether "doi nanmu" is in this respect like LA or like COI: does it mean "O man" -- "doi do [p]oi nanmu fa ke'a" -- or "O Man" -- "doi la nanmu"? 3. "do poi nanmu fa ke'a" should mean "those of you that are men", but does "coi nanmu" mean "Hello, those of you that are men", "coi do poi nanmu fa ke'a", or does it mean "Hello, men", "coi do noi nanmu fa ke'a"? 4. Why are lojbanists encouraged to name themselves and others with cmevla? --And.
