I think the experimental cmavo {ma'oi} was proposed for this purpose (are experimental cmavo taboo around here? I'm new to this list). e.g.
zo .e cmavo ma'oi .a
It's one fewer syllable than {lu'i zo .a} anyway :)

I suggest that cmavo2 is a la'e zo-quotation of a cmavo that represents the whole selma'o ({lu'i}?)so{zo a cmavo la'e zo a}. Otherwise we need a separate word for each selma'o (like e.g. {cmavrxavo}).
Since {zo a} is easier to remember than {cmavrxavo} and since other usages of cnmavo2 are unlikely to be useful i suggest changing (clarifying?) this definition
"la'e ko'a" usually gives you the meaning of ko'a rather than its class, so "la'e zo .a" is probably closer to "lo terma'o be zo .a" than to "lo selma'o be zo .a".If "lu'i ko'a" meant "the (obvious) set that has ko'a among its members" then you could use "lu'i zo .a". "lu'i ko'a" has usually been interpreted as "the (only) set that has ko'a as (all of) its members" though. The first definition is probably more useful, but it is also more vague. After all, the sets {".a", ".e", "ji", ".o", ".u"} and {".a", "be", "ci", "do", "fu"} both have ".a" among its members, so even with the relaxed definition you would have to rely on obviousness and context to know that "lu'i zo .a" meant selmaho A, and not for example that other set.mu'o mi'e xorxes
