{ro lo prenu goi ko'a} parses as {ro (lo prenu goi ko'a)},
not as {(ro lo prenu) goi ko'a}. So I belive {ko'a} becomes
{lo prenu}, not {ro lo prenu}, and the whole sentense is
equal to {ro lo prenu co prami lo prenu} expect that the
second {lo prenu} refers to the same person as the first.
Does it make sense?
