Ouch! Yes, that's a problem. I think it has to be something
like:

la djein djuno le du'u romu'eiku ge makau gi dy klama

Jane knows that: in every possible world, whoever goes she goes.

(This does not say that in every possible world Jane knows
who goes.)

It would seem then that {romu'ei} will be necessary for main
clause q-ever as well...

Interesting. That would give us a way to cover what pc calls
true indirect questions, "he asked whether...", etc.
