Make one up. Aren't there some cmavo that are reserved for experimental use?
Use one of those, and tell us what so we understand you (well, the rest of
the list. I'll need to wait till I can understand anything without staring
at it for five minutes first) what cmavo it is. Maybe others will use it.

It would have been nice to have a pro-sumti which refers to whatever
is in the prenex in a case like this. I think I'll try using "ce'u",
since it kind of focuses the main bridi with regard to the prenex,
though it probably would have been better to just have a different
word.
