We don't know in general that {loi vo nanmu} has a single referent.
All we know is that its referent(s) is/are quartets of men.
{loi vo nanmu} = {lo gunma be lo vo nanmu}, and for any broda
in general the number of referents of {lo broda} is not 
specified.

{loi PA broda} behaves like {lo gunma be lo PA broda}, but
because it is a more compact notation it doesn't have a place
to indicate the number of its referents, whereas {lo gunma} does.
