I say "pimu lo broda" means half a broda and "pimu loi broda" means half of a 
mass of brodas. Whether that means (supposing that loi broda are eight people) 
four people, eight halves of people, or some combination thereof is vague. 
"pimu broda" means pretty much the same as "pimu lo broda", but as li pimu is 
not a cardinal, using it in a sequence of quantifiers can produce nonsense.

"pa lo'e re broda cu brodo" or "fi'ure loi broda cu brodo".
