Can you give some examples or evidence?

If du'u were always intensional, then I would accept that all NU are, since
I maintain that all NU can be paraphrased by brivla + du'u be zi'o sumti.

But is it not the case that intensionality shows up only in certain contexts,
chiefly as argument of cognitive predicates? -- and -- errant usage aside ---
such arguments should be du'u rather than some other NU.
