Both fa'u & le'au are rather crude, since they're not sufficient to yield
the desired logical form without further glorking (bcs glorking is required
to pair up the fa'us and le'aus). But certainly le'au is at least as useful
as fa'u. Indeed, the gadri would always be more basic than the sumti
connective, since the gadri can be used to paraphrase the connective,
but the connective can't be used to paraphrase the gadri.
