[lojban] Empasizing an entire structure in forethought?



On IRC, I had cause to translate "Do not be to quick to deal in
death and judgement.  Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

I (eventually) came up with:

.i ko na duske lo nu sutra gasnu lo nu morsi gi'e pajni .i lo mutce
prije na kakne lo nu djuno ro nu fanmo

I had a lot of trouble with "even", however.

Apparently, http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=even, even in
this case is just empasis, which I can accept.  What I'm unclear on
is how to emphasize all of "lo mutce prije" in forethough.  I mean,
{lo ba'e mutce ba'e prije} works, but it's a bit unsatisfying.

Suggestions?
