Although the rationale for poi'i was to make it easier to say what
was otherwise difficult or nigh-on impossible to say, I've been
finding it incredibly useful in my recently-embarked-upon translation
of The Importance of Being Earnest. Essentially, it functions as
an alternative to a prenex, and has the further advantage that
it can be postposed: {poi'i ... kei fa ko'a}, instead of
{ko'a poi'i ... kei} or {ko'a zo'u ...}.
