it does show we are somewhat awkwardly lacking in a good
word for "wrong" (besides TOLDRANI). SE TCICA FI implies an
agent; XLALI BIRTI leaves XAMGU BIRTI as an implied synonym
for DJUNO; & DJUNO FO LE JITFA (or TOLDRANI) which is to me
the most LOBYKAI, i'm not sure doesn't rule out them being
right for the wrong reasons...
