So "mi citka ma kau" would mean not "I eat anything" but rather "I eat = whatever it is that I eat" -- because "do djuno lo du'u mi citka ma kau" me= ans "Whatever it is that I eat, you know know that I eat it" =3D "You know = what I eat".

That makes "mi citka ma kau" still possibly useful, but doesn't give us= a way to say "I eat anything". For that, I suggest "ro da su'o mu'ei ku mi= citka da", "ro da ka'e ku mi citka da", "I could eat anything", or else "r= o da ro mu'ei ku mi citka da", "I would eat anything".
Two questions.
1. Don't you think that it c= an mean "for each specific x in a possible world it's possible/necessary th= at I will eat it".
2. Even if I'm wrong then {any} in this exampl= e must mean not choosing any specific object.

For = now I'm gonna stick to {su'a} as "any" has no relation to logic. It's clear= that we're dealing with the attitude.
{xe'e} in PA would be some= what strange.
