from Jboske:

>(what is the official line on requantifying an already quantified
>variable?)
The closest thing to an official line is the last section
of chapter 16, which does not make sense as far as I can tell
The way I interpret requantification is this: The second
time a variable is quantified, there is an implicit
restriction to the same set to which the variable was
restricted the first time. So if the first appearance is
{Q1 da poi broda}, and the second appearance is {Q2 da poi brode},
then this last one is equivalent to {Q2 de poi broda zi'e poi
brode}. Which quantifier Q1 is plays no role in the second
quantification. If Q1 were to play a role (as the Book suggests)
then we would have strange consequences, like {su'o da poi broda}
and {naku no da poi broda}, which should be equivalent, giving
different results for the second quantification
