Also {nitcu lo'ei cmima be le'ei klesi be lo'i tanxe}
should work as well. (And I don't see why {nitcu loi'e
cmima} would not work just as well.)

Not grammatical. But, if we accept that {lu'a} is
{tu'o lu'a} them {nitcu lu'a le'i tanxe} will do.

Or just {nitcu le'ei tanxe}.

Not grammatical, but fixable to:

mi citka su'o lu'a le'i plise

Not really different from: {mi citka su'o le plise},
since "an apple of a certain kind" is just "one of certain
apples".
