Has Cowan really specified that? I've been arguing that {dakau} cannot
be the lambda variable because as an indirect question it would have a
conflict, for example in:

        ko'a ko'e frica le ka XXXX skari makau
        Koha and kohe differ in what colour THEY are.

where XXXX stands for the lambda variable.

I don't think it has been decided what is the lambda variable. I suggested
{ke'a}, but if it can't be {ke'a} then it should be a new cmavo, never
{dakau}.
