Shouldn't this also have a "ro da zo'u" at the front?

So I don't understand why you're saying "leijei" instead of "le
jei". For any given proposition, there's only one truth value (at
least conceptually), right? Everything is under the scope of the
universal quantification of "da", so the claim is already being
made individually, in effect. I'd go so far as to say "leijei" is
always semantically broken, like "loka" and such things.
On a side note, can a du'u really vajni? Can it really xlura? If
so, why wouldn't
ledu'u mi makau citka cu se xlura ledu'u le lankytanxe cu vasru makau
be better?
