Just to confirm the distributive vs. mass distinctions:  "joi" is to "loi"
as ".e" is to "lo".  That which is true of "lo broda" must be true of
each of (some of) them separately; that which is true of "ro lo broda" must
be true of each of (all of) them separately; that which is true of "loi broda"
may or may not be true of any of them separately.

I think that Nick's "xu'a" is just "jo'a", the UI which affirms the
correctness of an expression (vs. je'u which affirms the correctness of the
>content< of the expression).
