Relying on pragmatics= is best when the semantics is sound, which is not clear here.  I can'= t parse {nabyplane} off hand, so I'll skip that and also the awkwardness of= having both {tu'a} and the elided predicate {citka} present.  The sco= pe of {ma} is problematic: is it this world, where, admittedly, the answer = presumably lies, or the world of {lo nu do citka}, where the language place= s it?  Happily, the answer is a this-worldly {da}, which covers the di= fference smoothly (the event world presumably in these cases includes the r= elevant portions of the actual world and, perhaps, then some).

I wonder if we can rely on pragmatics...

H= owever, we don't have "which", so we don't really have "any".

"Which sandwich do you want?"

= "Any sandwhich is fine."

In Lojban I wouldn't say = it that way.

{.i ko cuxna fi loi snuji} or summat.=

Whatever... I'm out of opinions/suggestions.
