Is this expressed as:
 
.i le pamei kubli le remei kubli cu frica le ka skari
The first cube differs from the second cube in the property of colour.
 
How does this differ from:
 
.i le pamei kubli le remei kubli cu drata *le ka skari
The first cube is other than the second cube by the standard of the propery of
colour.
 
Is it valid to use the property colour as the standard for difference?  I think
the crux of this problem is related to the meaning of the x3 place.
