If you're really using klesi there, then I'm reading the english as
"This beret is an example of a type of beret, which is an example of
a type of hat, which is an example of a type of garment"
(I write, as if this disambiguated at all... but hopefully you get what
I mean).

Then I don't think this is an example of level-crossing in the sense
I mean it, i.e. crossing the level doesn't allow you to get from AE to
EA.

"Everyone was wearing a type of beret" ->
"There was a type of beret everyone was wearing - namely a type of hat"
doesn't (meta)work.

Not with you there. What's equivalence?

Weird. What's the relation between klesi and mupli? I was assuming that
ro da poi klesi ku'o ro de zo'u go da de klesi gi ro di da na.a de
mupli.
