Right. That's why I said that with "poi" instead of "noi" it would be
a different matter. Notice that in English you said "hit the donkeys
which they own" rather than "hit donkeys, which they own", so you are
talking as if it was "poi". (In fact I'm never quite sure about what
to do with "poi" when it is not being used to restrict the domain of a
quantifier.)

"lo speni be da" is "zo'e noi speni da". I don't see how you could get
rid of the unbound variable there. There's no referential "lo speni"
in the non-referential "lo speni be da".

If the selbri that "lo" transforms into a sumti contains an unbound
variable, then I don't see how "lo" can create out of it anything
other than a function.
