Today I discussed something with my boss, then went back to drawing lots. I 
later overheard him talking with something about what we had discussed, and a 
while after he hung up, I asked him {ko'a jinvi ma la'ede'u?}. (I didn't ask 
it in Lojban. They find it weird enough that I practice tonguetwisters in 
Czech.) He knew who ko'a was, though I didn't.
