The "free floating" {da} is {su'o da}. I take {su'o} to be
importing, of course. It is {ro}
that I take to be non-importing.

Because {ro broda cu brode} is not {naku su'o broda naku
brode} for importing
{ro} and {su'o}.

I'm afraid I'm lost. This is how I want it: ro broda cu brode = ro da zo'u ganai da broda gi da
brode
no broda cu brode = no da zo'u ge da broda gi da
brode
su'o broda cu brode = su'o da zo'u ge da broda gi da
brode
me'iro broda cu brode = me'iro da zo'u ganai da broda gi da
brode
This is how I assume you would have it:
ro broda cu brode = ge su'o de broda gi ro da zo'u ganai da
broda gi da brode
no broda cu brode = no da zo'u ge da broda gi da
brode
su'o broda cu brode = su'o da zo'u ge da broda gi da
brode
me'iro broda cu brode = ge su'o de broda gi me'iro da zo'u
ganai da broda gi da brode
The four relationships work for my system, but not for yours. Any of the
two
systems can be derived from the other when needed, so I don't see where
the
screw up is.
