Right, but what? {lo cipni cu na vofli gi'e blabi} hs three things
with scope: {su'o}, {na} and {gi'e}. In what order should we
take them?

I think it should be the same as: {su'o da poi cipni zo'u
ge da na vofli gi da blabi}, i.e. su'o-gi'e-na order.

Well, it seems sure that the orginal implies {lo cipni cu na vofli ije lo cipni cu blabi}, even { ... le di'u cipni cu blabi}, so this order looks right.  But how does the rule run (and does any of this help with {paroi ro mentu} other than a further instance of the wrong-headedness of the {na} rule)?
