If you never find out, it's hard to understand why you would say
that sentence at all. A better example might be {mi cliva isecaubo
ko'a djuno la'e di'u}.

If {ju'a} is assumed for both sentences, then it doesn't seem to make
much sense. I leave, she knows it, and my leaving lacks her knowing it?

Although {ju'a} is often the intended mood for an unmarked utterance,
I don't think we should stipulate that in the absence of any mood
marker we _must_ assume {ju'a}. I'd rather allow context to be able
to override that.

But better say {mi cliva secau lo nu ko'a djuno}, just in case.
