Well, I don't much like it either, but what do you see as wrong with {mi sisku lo ka be a holy
grail/black knight [no time to figure this out] lo romei}?  The assumption of the gloss is,
presumably, that the only way to find that property is to find something that has it.  It is a
dodge around intensional contexts.
