"ro la vodjed" is not a mathematical set (which is formed with
"lo'i/le'i"). When you say "de'i ro la vodjed", you're putting *each*
vodjed into the x1 of "detri" and use it as a modal; you're
successfully referring to "every vodjed".

I think you can, and that's how I would interpret it too. But it seems
there isn't total agreement among Lojbanists on this.
