Whether or not those things are considered things that {broda} depends 
on the universe of discourse. There is no pre-defined set of things 
which can and can't satisfy {broda} in all contexts.

If the universe of discourse in question makes no distinction between an 
alive broda and one that got squashed, then they both {broda} equally. 
In another context, they may be considered distinct and then only one of 
them will {broda}, and the other is something else.

None of this is strictly tied to {lo} or xorlo, but to the semantics of 
universes of discourse.
