That is, of course, the way it should be but not the way it is written up -- if I am reading the rather compressed and Ina moated descriptions correctly.

Of course, the problem is immediately pressing -- even before sentence boundaries -- if you have a case of Rako'eko'e (or whatever), which automatically puts the same thing in both slots (insofar as I can understand some of the unexplained notes).

Not sure we have a xortermi'e on this yet, but I would have Po'eko'e mean exactly lX smX lY smY PXkY, where X and Y stand for unique anonymous variables and sm- is the nonrestrictive restriction.
