I would think cybygyty in that case, but I'm not sure if it was 
{te ganzu} as two words. I always hesitate on what lerfu to use as
pronoun in such cases.

BTW, is {terganzu} the right word here? Shouldn't it be {bende}, 
or maybe {stura}? Can we have {bende be lo gugde}, or only 
{bende be lo prenu}?

{mylyvy}.
