On a more logical level, there is a problem when you try to express desire
for something impossible. That is
 1. Let broda be a predication that is impossible to hold, even in hypothet=
ical
     worlds, such as a logical contradiction.
 2. Let ko'a be a subject with so little grasp of logic that ko'a can not
     understand that broda is impossible, and naively wants broda.
How would the speaker express that ko'a wants broda? He can't say
{lo nu broda}, because there is no event of broda. There is no problem
with the existence of the predication broda, on the other hand.
