In light of your reply to And of a few minutes ago, I see that
I shouldn't be using {pa} here.

So make that {su'o na'e xabju cu turni ro xabju} - by analogy with the
berets, you'd hae that meaning that one-or-more *kinds* of non-resident
rule all residents - being something we could have deduced from {ro
xabju cu se turni su'o na'e xabju}?
