	I received a private reply confirming the above as valid. So, I
ask now: Is the following also right?

	-lei = a part or the whole of a mass of those I describe as X
	-loi = a part or the whole of a mass of those which really are X
	-lai = a part or the whole of a mass of those named X

	-le'i = the set of those I describe as X
	-lo'i = the set of those which really are X
	-la'i = the set of those named X

	My doubts in these cases rely on "lei/le'i". The Reference
Grammar defines them as:
	- lei => "... a mass I describe as ..."
	  instead of: "... a mass OF THOSE I describe as ..."
	- le'i=> "... a set described as ..."
	  instead of: "... a set OF THOSE I describe as ..."
	I know this difference may sound insignificant, but, since
Lojban is a so "thorough" language, I thought this could make some
difference.

	co'o mi'e guctav.
