But you're ignoring his "le" on the "nu", which makes no sense---it's pretty difficult to refer specifically to future events, especially if you don't even have a box yet. So why le? We keep hitting these all over the place (cf. *mi djica lenu mi citka).
I know {le nu} isn't right there, that's why I had used {le du'u}.
But ce'u makes even less sense, and we were discussing the x2 of
nitcu in any case, so I just ignored that part.
So, how about add an eliptical gadri? "lai'u" or some such. The meaning is zi'o-style for gadri---it means we don't feel like putting a gadri here, but we have to. So:
[...]
Congratulations, you've discovered the intensional gadri!
That's what I use {lo'e} for.
