Am I right that {tu'a da broda} corresponds to {lo jai broda}?
If so, then {lo jai ka cakla} corresponds to {tu'a da ka cakla}
and {lo jai ka} means "some x such that an abstraction involving
x is the property of such and such". I have no idea how that could
be useful or how it gets to claimed to be seka or poi'i.

Confused.
