Ah, I didn't realize that independent likelihoods were wanted. If you
don't want to repeat lkn- and gsn-, this looks like a job for a double
v-:

As for Boris' death, the likely thing is that the Germans rather than
whoever, poison rather than whatever, using it they caused it.

Though I'm not sure whether the two v's are evaluated independently or
one under the other.
