{ mi ba'o cusku lesedu'u mi pu jinvi ledu'u ma kau bebna }
is the answer for Lojban For Beginners Chapter 15 Exercise 1.3, "I've said who I thought was a fool."
Is the {pu } in { mi pu jinvi } reflecting some kind of sequence of tenses as the "thought" in "I thought" is in accordance with "I've said" (in which case "I"'s thinking of "who" as "a fool" may either be continuing or have stopped)? Or is it simply implying { mi pu jinvi gi'enai ca jinvi ledu'u ...}?
