Additionally I suggest the following for {pi'u}:

The cross-product of apples and pears that are either red or yellos has 4 members.

Is this correct and can you provide a more natural translation?

Let's see:

lo plise .o nai bo lo perli pi'u lo xunre .a lo pelxu cu vo mei

lo selcmipi'i be lo plise .o nai lo perli bei lo xunre ,a lo pelxu cu vo mei

lo poi'i ke'a selcmipi'i lo plise .o nai lo perli lo perli ,a lo pelxu cu vo mei

lo poi'i go ga ke'a selcmipi'i lo plise lo xunre  

               gi ke'a selcmipi'i lo plise lo pelxu

           gi nai ga ke'a selcmipi'i lo perli lo xunre  

                    gi ke'a selcmipi'i lo perli lo pelxu cu vo mei

The cross product of apples and red things is not apples that are red, it's the pairs whose first member is an apple and whose second member is a red thing. So if we have two apples and two red things, their cross product is the four pairs: (apple1, red-thing1), (apple2, red-thing1), (apple1, red-thing2) and (apple2, red-thing2).

So I don't think your sentence means what you think it means.
