Notes
Base parallel establishing symmetric first-level knowledge. la-mi to [la-ze to-fe-ka] = personal epistemic modal (to = knowledge) with clausal bracket: I know [that-they commit fraud]. la-ze to [la-ze to-fe-ka] = they know [that they themselves commit fraud] — the agent la-ze appears in both the outer frame and the inner bracket, marking the self-knowledge of the perpetrators. / = bi-clausal parallel: the two knowledge claims are structurally paired as the symmetric foundation for the nesting in S773. First use of to [CLAUSE] in a / bi-clausal parallel construction. Note the distinction from S767 (SLZ-001-C) where si and no-to were the paired modals: here both sides of / carry the same modal (to) with different agents.
S771 Because [refusing fraud] — liberation becomes possible.
