[explanation of makau snipped]

That explanation is great in almost every case, but I wonder :-) 
about a case like:

1) la meris kucli le du'u makau klama le zarci

as opposed to

2) la meris kucli le du'u la djan klama le zarci

It seems me that in 1), Mary is wondering about the identity of who 
goes, whereas in 2), Mary is wondering about the fact that John goes. 
The makau could be replaced by la djan in 1), and it would change the 
meaning. Or maybe that's not what 1) means, but if it isn't, how do 
you say it?
