I guess that -- whether discursive or "attitudinal" -- {da'i} can go anywhere in a sentence, but it seems pretty clear that in at least some places here it is adjectival to {logji cmavo}, meaning either "supposed" or "{da'i}-like" ({se sruma}, more or less, or {me zo da'i} more or less). The point is clear and certainly true, but the mode of _expression_ leaves a bit to be desired (am I about to be plonked again?) |
