I think you can attach the "qua" tag with a {be} or {pe} to attach it to=20 one of the arguments. The problem right now is just that no such selbri=20 exists, and I don't know what to do about that. It's somewhat urgent=20 that this word be made, but at the same time, making new gismu is not=20 easily accepted. Since this concept seems so widely applicable, it would seem to be=20 useful to have a gismu for it that begins with x, so that one of the=20 remaining experimentals of the xV'V series can be used as its BAI. I just don't want to go too far on my own only to be forced later to=20 undo everything.
