For me it is extremely relevant.

You're picking up pc's bad habits... :)

I don't really mind how you label it, I think I'm discussing Lojban.

Then the {paroiku} case first expands to:

paroiku mi klama la paris gi'e klama la romas

{paroiku} should behave just like {pa prenu}.

It shows that quantifiers of other terms can have scope over {e}, 
in exactly the same way that they can have scope over {ro}.
