That top-level je'ikau seems off for more than one reason; why not
just "jo nai" ?
You could argue, however, that logically connected bridi are inside
"implicit abstractions" (cf {kanxe} and {vlina}; there aren't really
any decent selbri counterparts to the O and U functions though). Then
again, I'm not sure how much sense indirect questions make inside
these connective abstractions.

Anyway, I do have something constructive to say with regard to this
thread though :)

.i mi vedli lo li'i no'a
(Or for the non-vedli people: {.i mi morji lo du'u no'a}
"I remember remembering remembering..."

It's only as recursive as you want it to be :)

.i mi'e la tsani mu'o
