I messed that up.  See revised.

    Your ho is my "to fo".


I am not sure of that yet, but maybe.  Can you explain briefly how "t-" works?

The complement of t- is not necessarily in the same world as the rest of the formula that contains the t- phrase.

In the light of subsequent discussion, we might need to revisit this, but I now feel that we need two markers, one for "is in same world as rest of formula" and one for "is not necessarily in same world as rest of formula". These markers don't need to contain bindable V; they can be nV forms.
