6.3)  mi ba jdice le jei

    I [future] decide the truth-value of
        (George being-a-(crime doer)).
    I will decide whether George is a criminal.

Deciding a truth value is either meaningless or useless.

I thought we decided long ago that this was merely a sumti-raising error that requires a tu'a on the "le jei" because the underlying question is "ledu'u makau du lejei ..."

People have admitted that there were sumti-raising errors in some of the CLL examples.
