Copout, I fear:

la bil po'o renvi le li'i la djan. ralju ce'u ce zo'e

>3c. la djan po'o renvi le nu dy ralju

Using the x2 of li'i instead:

1d. la djan. po'o renvi le li'i ce'u ralju kei [be zo'e]
2d. la bil. po'o renvi le li'i la djan ralju kei be ce'u
3d. la djan. po'o renvi le li'i la djan ralju kei be ce'u

Of course, we don't know for sure yet whether you can actually do this
with li'i, as distinct from ka. Anyone?
