Note 12.3 — SIN QUERER
Reading edition
nunca lo hubiera habido 'there never would have been any.' Lo refers to a preceding word, phrase, or idea (in this case to desaire), and is translated (if at all) by 'one,' 'some,' 'any,' or 'so.' Hubiera habido is the pluperfect subjunctive of haber in the impersonal sense.
