I would like to be able to sate an hypothesis in the {da'i} sense, then to express a bunch of bridis all dependent of it but not connected in any other way, and then to reverse to normal discourse. Or in other words, something like the sticky tag used for tense, adapted to discursives. (The context of all this is a tentative translation of some mathematical text, where the validity of an hypothesis may run for some times, before being proved or disproved) Any ideas? mu'omi'e lioNEL
