Wait, I have to explicitly state the zo'e. So I ammend this to
(7) mi djuno lenu zo'e do bruna .i zo bel. ra cmene


That takes care of what of the crucial sort was wrong with (6).  All that is left now is that {djuno} takes propeositions {du'u}, not events {nu}.  And a worry about pulling references out of subordinate clauses with mental predicates (I believe that Sherlock Holmes is still alive.  He raises bees in Suffolk.)
