That's correct. I don't see the point of a gadri that could be used
only in "intensional contexts", i.e. for the x2 of djica, nitcu, sisku, 
perhaps claxu. The predicates themselves create the intensional context,
there is no need, in my opinion, for a gadri to redundantly emphasize it. 
All that is required is to use a constant term there and not a quantified
one. (A quantified term is still permitted, but it gives the usually
unwanted meaning.)
