That is appropriately unspecified but not quite
the "obvious or indifferent" force of {zo'e}. 
Possibly {go'i}, which repeats the previous bridi
(or, since it can be modified in various ays,
selbri) comes closer.  But it is a bit too
precise (informative).  Nothing seem to match
{zo'e} more exactly -- and we don't have the
luxury of a blank (which best matches {co'e}).
