I am unsure how to use {nei} except in {nei jetfa} but I don't think it is actually in the preceding bridi -- so you want an {.i} (which, in this context, you don't need at the beginning) and then {di'u}. The rest then says "this utterance planned that someone do the one and only thing-({dacni} > {dacti}) function (? {facnu} > {fancu})" Minimally, I suspect that {pa} modifies {dacti} and is not the internal quantifier with {le}, so maybe {pa zei dacti} or {dacti pamei}. And I think that {prupla} is either the wrong brivla altogether or that you need a different choice of places to use, {di'u se prupla fi le nu...}? Good first shot in that it brings out nicely where the big problems are and gets some things tacked down. |
