Hmm.  rap'a' {rap} {nIb} je?  nIb'a'?  

Is there any difference in meaning between {rap} and {nIb}?  

The question "Are SarrIS and charghwI' identical?" (even in
English) might very well be asking if they are identical 
twins, but in context, I think it's clear that pIl'o' was 
asking if SarrIS and charghwI' are the same (identical) 
person.
