No, that's not what I used. It has to be {su'o da goi la ab
su'o da goi la ac}. A bare da won't do it the second time,
because it is already bound by the first quantifier, so in
your example {la ab} and {la ac} refer to the same thing.
But a second {su'o da} introduces a new variable, because
you can't quantify a variable that has already been bound.
