> le ka da broda
I've changed my mind about this.
At first, I shared Mark's dislike of usurping
{da} like this. I don't much like using {ke'a} either
(we might need it for a genuine relativization),
but I thought we might use an unbound {ko'a}.
And of course you can usually use {ri} or {ra}.
(Can we have {ri xi re}? Yes, apparently we can.)
But I'm now coming round to liking {da}.
If you have
le ka da zo'u da broda
that's not so different in superficial appearance from
<lambda> x: broda(x, ...)
and possibly not too distant in intention from
a more conventional prenex either.
And if I'm right in my assumption that the scope
of an implicit quantification is unspecified and
to-be-glorked, then this naturally abbreviates to
le ka da broda
after all.
