Failing that you could say
X ge la djan gi la djim Y po`o cu pinxe le ckafi
where X and Y are the markers for attitudinal scope - I forget

Alternatively,
ge la djan gi po`o la djim cu pinxe le ckafi
might do the job, because I can't think what else it might mean.
(But it only works for forethought connectives.)
