That depends upon what the default outer quantifier is for "lei" these
days - something that was I think part of the as-yet-unsettled dispute.
If it is pisu'o (which I think was Cowan's position) then, you require
your cooperative audience to think the two are aligned one after the
other AND that you intend a different-than standard outer quantifier.
