How to say "one day out of the blue", "once upon a time", "one day I'll meet her", "this way or another", "somehow"?

I found "ca da" using jufsisku but it doesn't reflect what you mean in English.

"Once upon a time". Here we are talking about undetermined time in past. 

It's all about concepts that have fuzzy borders.

Would {ca lo cundei} work for some of those?

It's not that it's unpredictable. It's that we don't want to know or stress what that time interval was exactly.

I think i'd just say {puza}. At least until we acquire proper idioms observed in Lojbanistan ;)

Here are some ideas, which may not match the English:
ca lo lidysuksa
mi ba speni lo daidza rodbo'e
puzuvuki
ta'i zu'i ja zo'e
tu'o cu'o du'o zi'o

mu'omi'e .pier.

I know I've seen the phrase "once upon a time" before. I could've sworn it was in an official text, but apparently my Google skills aren't up to the challenge. I did find the following:

puzuku - mentioned in this thread

paroi - mentioned in the cll here in the description of the YACC grammar. (Specifically in the section "/* extensional/intensional interval parameters */".)

Hi,

I found this in CLL:
paroi = once upon a time (somewhere)
paroiku'avi = once upon a time here
