A few thoughts more about ZAhO
Saying
le dacti ca ba'o zasti
states that the object is now in the aftermath of existing which
is almost like saying
le dacti ca na zasti
except that it also explicitly states that the object has existed
some time before: "The object doesn't exist anymore". Indirectly
it sets the present to some point in time following the cessation
of the existence of the object.
There are a few idioms in English which are structurally very
near:
He was now past caring.
co'o mi'e veion
