[lojban-beginners] how do you use sumka'i to refer to an outer bridi?

A good example that I'm trying to wrap my brain around is the following:  Suppose I want to say, "Who wants my dog?"  bau la lojban - .i ma djica lo nu ____ ponse lo mi gerku

 

I want a sumka'i in the ____ to refer to the "ma" in the main bridi.  How can I do that?  Can I use the reflexive sumka'i vo'a?  (.i ma djica lo nu vo'a ponse lo mi gerku)?  Or do those reflexive sumka'i only refer to their native bridi, or can they "reach-out" and refer to the main bridi of which they are a part?
