Thinking back to this topic, I'm wondering why nobody suggested simple 
{lo}. It's more or less perfect for this kind of thing.

ko dunda lo plise pe lo lanka mi
Give me any apple from the basket.

No need for quantifiers.

In fact, some of the quantifier examples might be incorrect, depending 
on the scope of {ko}.

We don't want to say "There is an apple that I want you to give me" 
(because we are happy with *any* apple), but this would happen if {da} 
had scope over {ko}. Does the CLL say anything about this?
