more sources of opacity-like phenomena

How do "tenses" interact with quantification?
I see an obvious solution if they have scope over the bridi
they occur in: use xaha & xahanai.

(I) I read three books twice
  There are three books that I read twice:
    (1a)   Mi reroi tcidu ci lo cukta
    (1b) *?Da poi du ci lo cukta zohu [reroi [mi tcidu da]]
    (1c) *?Reroi [mi tcidu xaha ci lo cukta]
  Twice there were three books that I read:
                     [i.e. I might have read up to 6 books]
    (2a)   ????????????
    (2b) *?Reroi [da poi du ci lo cukta zohu mi tcidu da]
    (2c) *?Reroi [mi tcidu xahanai ci lo cukta]
(II) I generally read a book
  There is a book that I generally read:
    (3a)   Mi tahe tcidu lo cukta
    (3b) *?Da poi cukta zohu [tahe [mi tcidu da]]
    (3c) *?Tahe [mi tcidu xaha lo cukta]
  Generally there is a book that I read:
                     [i.e. not necessarily always the same book]
    (4a)   ????????????
    (4b) *?Tahe [da poi cukta zohu mi tcidu da]
    (4c) *?Tahe [mi tcidu xahanai lo cukta]

I presume these matters have been solved long ago (though
I don't recall them being discussed on the list). What is
the solution? Can we also extend xaha and xahanai to cover
this function?

For that matter, I wonder if pc was thinking of xaha (so-named
by Jorge - pc called it "xehe") to serve this function:
     Pa lo prenu tcidu ro lo cukta
       "There is someone that reads every book"
     Pa lo prenu tcidu xaha ro lo cukta
       "For every book there is someone that reads it"
to which we can add:
     Pa lo prenu tcidu xahanai ro lo cukta
       "There is someone that reads every book"

Would this extension of xaha undermine its use as a marker
for transparent reference in opaque contexts?
