Make that "metadeduce", if you insist. If we know that every resident is ruled by a non-resident, which is what we would understand by {ro xabju cu se turni su'o na'e xabju}, then we could conclude that there are some kinds of non-resident which rule every resident, which I believe is a meaning you would ascribe to {su'o na'e xabju cu turni ro xabju}. So {ro xabju cu se turni su'o na'e xabju .i .ua su'o na'e xabju cu turni ro xabju} would be a reasonable thought process (with a domain switch having occurred between the sentences). No?
