da .a'o, or maybe da da'i(cu'i?)

There may in fact be nothing which exists that goes there, but that does
not remove your need for it. Why force people to claim a particular value,
when I do not know what that value is, or whether it exists.

We don't want to force people to claim a particular value exists, of course. That's why da is wrong and that's why I use lo'e there.
