I'm finding this a lot and the definition "abstractor: predication/bridi abstractor; x1 is predication [bridi] expressed in sentence x2     at   0    (cf. mintu, dunli)" is not very helpful to me.  Could someone give me an example of "du'u" in a real world sentence and explain how it affects the sentence.  I've found sentences with du'u in it that have english versions of that sentence but I can't figure out what the "du'u" is actually doing!

It's discussed in section 11.7.  I didn't see it in section 7 at all.

   The link that Dylan gave was to chapter 11.  He was referring to section 7 of that chapter.
