I was talking about {fe} as well.

If {la djan jinvi le du'u la meris mamta la bil}, then
{la djan jinvi le du'u makau mamta la bil}. Both are independent
of whether or not {la meris mamta la bil} is true.

If John has the opinion that Mary is Bill's mother, then
John has an opinion as to who Bill's mother is.

If what is always right?

I'm not saying it's not dealing with the issue. I'm saying I don't
understand how it affects it, how it gives a contradiction.

I thought you were ok with the notion that propositions were
0-argument properties. But I don't mind using {ka} instead
of {du'u} if you prefer.
