Just because of the potential for ambiguity. According to CLL http://jbotcan.org/docs/cll/c9/s10.html you would have to say "kukte fa do ne du'i lo cevni", with "ne" if you want to compare "do" with "lo cevni", and the only possible interpretation without "ne" would be the one I had in (1), comparing the deity with being tasty. mu'o mi'e xorxes
