 But that allows for her having existed sometimes
 to some people, doesn't it? I think it's more like
 {mi noroi zasti da poi na du mi}, or else
 {mi ze'e zasti noda poi na du mi} >>

I'm not sure whether noroi  is strictly negative and whether, if it is, roda 
is in its scope (the book doesn't take it up at the relevant point.  If the 
answer to both is "yes," 
then just da or (folksy style) noda  -- or prenex.  But the point is that lb 
can say this very easily.
