coi lojbo pendo

I'm facing the problem of "left factoring" sumti of the form
"le broda brode .e le broda brodi", I mean, something like
"le broda (brode .e brodi)".

I don't know if it's possible at all. At first I tried
"le broda brode je brodi", which associates correctly, but doesn't
mean the same thing. Any ideas? (Please, NO metaphysical discussion
on connectives!)
