A note:  "re lo'e nanmu" doesn't mean "two typical men", it means "two
instances of the abstraction called 'the typical man'" and is semantically
unsound, since there is only one such objective abstraction.  (If it isn't
objective, then "le'e" is wanted, and "re le'e nanmu" is fine.)

The semantic unsoundness is similar to that of "re li vo", "two number fours".
