Their mother would probably have found "Bunker" to be a strange name. They had 
no family name when they came here.

da is included in rode, but that doesn't make the second part of the assertion 
false. "For the one Chang, for the one Eng, it is not the case that for all 
standards, they are identical by that standard." (There's a dispute about 
what "na" means if it's in one of two bridi-tails connected by a logical 
conjunction, but here it doesn't matter, since Chang and Eng are singular.)
