True. Most magic words are local, though. Only ZOI and LOhU (and LU) can have a large extent. And magic is comparatively rare, whereas NU/NOI is extremely common and I fear a large amount of text would be broken by changing the semantics of .i after abstractions.

Changing the semantics of {.i} after abstractions would be disastrous, which is why you'd need to explicitly use {tu'e}.

.i mi djica lo nu tu'e do klama lo mi zdani .ibabo mi'o samkei kansi'u tu'u

Like this, {tu'e} is essentially acting as LU, but the result of which is not a sumti, but a bridi.

.i mi'e la tsani mu'o
