We were not discussing a full sentence. We were discussing the
sub-expression "lo xasli noi da darxi" within the full expression
"su'o da poi te cange cu ponse lo xasli noi da darxi". In the
sub-expression in question (which was a candidate antecedent for
"ri"), "da" is unbound, which makes the sub-expression an inadequate
antecedent for a "ri" that is outside the scope of the binding
quantifier.
