 ??? -> xu'a ra in this case.  (or xu'a rixivo (or is is rixici?  I
was never very clear if the convention was "ri"="rixipa" or
"ri"="rixino"))  The major problem is there is nothing in GOhA (as I
understand it) that refers to sub-bridis, only main bridis (except for
the special case of no'a).  But we can refer to any (non prosumti)
sumti we want, no matter how far down it is, since ri/ra/ru and
abu/by/cy "see" all levels at once. So since we can do that, I'm just
looking for a abstraction undoer...
