scope issues

1- I assume that

(1a) lo cipni cu blabi gi'e vofli

expands to:

(1b) su'o da poi cipni zo'u ge da blabi gi da vofli

and not as:

(1c) ge su'o da poi cipni zo'u da blabi gi su'o de poi cipni zo'u de 
vofli

2- I assume that:

(2a) lo cipni cu blabi gi'e na vofli

therefore expands as:

(2b) su'o da poi cipni zo'u ge da blabi gi da na vofli

If this is correct, here we have a {na} (in 2a) that does not export to the 
first place in the
prenex. In 2b it does, because there is a prenex after gi:

(2b) su'o da poi cipni zo'u ge da blabi gi naku zo'u da vofli

3- I assume that:

(3a) lo cipni cu na vofli gi'e blabi

expands to:

(3b) su'o da poi cipni zo'u ge da na vofli gi da blabi

and not to:

(3c) naku su'o da poi cipni zo'u ge da vofli gi da blabi

i.e., I'm assuming {(na vofli) gi'e (blabi)} and not {na (vofli gi'e blabi}.
I believe this is how the parser would group it, though that is no
guarantee of anything.

If this is correct, then comparing {lo cipni cu na vofli} with
{lo cipni cu na vofli gi'e blabi} we see that the final {gi'e blabi}
completely turns around the first part. Very weird...
