So the seltau and tertau of a tenru have an ambiguous (aka metaphorical) 
relationship that is left to the reader/listener to determine (by 
convention and context). But what if one wanted to be more specific. e.g. 
from example 5.2.8 of the CLL:

    klama jubme

A number of possible interpretations are given. The first and most obvious 
is "a-goer type-of-table". What if I wanted to make that interpretation 
quite clear so there could be no other interpretation? I can't say:

    klama .e jubme

b/c that would mean a "a goer and a table". I want to say in effect "x is a 
goer and x is a table". How to do that?
