(i) Is {da ka`e broda}

    {ka`e ku da broda} = {cumki fa lo nu da broda}

or

    {da ka`e ku broda} = {da zo`u cumki fa lo nu da broda}

?

(ii) How can one express the idea "At time T, subject S is
being/doing P", as opposed to "At time T=now, S is P"? (I
thought that {ca`a} has a default expansion to {ca ca`a}.)
