[lojban] Logical scope of LAhE



coi ro do

I have a question.
Let's consider the sentence {mi djica tu'a da}. Does {da} have scope/priority over {tu'a}, or vice versa?
Which of the below expansions is correct?

1) {mi djica lo du'u su'o da zo'u da co'e} -- {tu'a} expands first, it has priority over {da}. 2) {su'o da zo'u mi djica lo du'u da co'e} -- {da} expands first, it has priority over {tu'a}.
3) Ambiguous scope.

The Lojban interpreter Tersmus opines that {da} has priority over {tu'a}. However, this behavior doesn't parallel the way LE is handled:

{mi djica lo co'e be da} is interpreted as {mi djica lo poi'i su'o da zo'u ke'a da co'e}, and not as {su'o da zo'u mi djica lo poi'i ke'a da co'e}, so {lo} has scope/priority over {da}.

Shouldn't all the gadri (LE and LAhE, in this case) have the same behavior with regard to logical scope?
