Some more stuff to consider: "I wonder who you reckon loves who" -- I think this shows that the wonderee argument is binder of two makau variables. So we need a new C -- h, say -- that binds one or more variables ("h-i-k-a-k-u"?)m the variables interpreted as makaus. And then "bcdu'u" can be considered an abbreviation of "ha bcda".OK, that's good, so your sentence could be: la heki fa lo fo prmeki jnve'eko kcla'aka the (who-E, who-I) of the state of affairs in which (that E loves I you reckon), I wonder. Or perhaps more clearly: la kcla'aka heki fa lo jnve'eko fo prmeki "My wonder is the (who-E, who-I) of your opinion that E loves I"
I wonder if the order of heki and fa matters. What if instead of "heki fa" or "fa heki" we had "fakeki", where by convention the first variable, A, is for the completed proposition and the subsequent variables are for the bound variables? --And.
