I think what you're actually saying is that you're talking to the first
sentence, because {ri} skips {mi} and ends up pointing to the
first {dei}. Or perhaps you are talking to the word "dei", if the inserted
sentence in English also counts. I never remember exactly which
sumti {ri} ignores,but I think {mi} is one of them.
