I might be overthinking this considerably, but is there a way to specify th=
at a an entity referred to multiple times in a bridi is the same exact enti=
ty each time it is referred to? For instance,

le du'u lo dacti cu barda narju bo bolci na nibli le du'u lo dacti cu najni=
mre

"The fact that an object is a large, orange sphere does not imply the fact =
that an object is an orange." is what this appears to say to me, though wha=
t I mean to say is more like "Just because *something* is big, round and or=
ange doesn't mean [the same *something*] is an orange."=20

In other words, how do I prevent myself from saying something like "the fac=
t that one thing (e.g. a basketball) is big, round and orange does not impl=
y the fact that some *other* thing (which may not be big, round, or orange =
at all e.g. a potato) is an orange," which seems kind of pointless to state=
.

Also: Do pro-sumti like ri, ra, and ru (and others) imply the same referent=
 as their first incarnation, or could a "ra" referring to "lo dacti" be ref=
erring to an entirely different entity which is also a "dacti"? Can those e=
ven refer to internal sumti?
