An example would be «kau'i poi ke'a gerku zo'u kau'i batci mi .i kau'i zvati ti» which is the same thing as what the utterance would be with formal replacement of kau'i with di if .i were to be replaced with .ije.

All right, this makes some sense (and I like the elephant pun, now that it's explained). The definition could be much clearer. Also, since we already have the ko'V/fo'V series which does not forget its assignments, I'm not sure kau'[aei] adds a ton of value: I believe (please correctly me if I missed some nuance) that your example is the same as ko'i goi di poi ke'a gerku zo'u ko'i batci mi .i ko'i zvati ti. di may be lost in the next sentence but ko'i should persist until da'o.

jbovlaste mangled my response pretty badly. Here it is again.
