I understand, yes, the topic has deviated from your question. To say "Keeping your promise would be silly" I suggest:
{lo nu zukte lo se nupre be do cu se bebna}
Yes, it works, but it is too verbose. After all, the original text is
a bit of poetry, and I am trying to avoid explicit {zukte}. Probably
something like {le su'u nupre} or {tu'a lo se nupre} does the job.
