Under xorlo (the revised system of semantics for the {gadri}), just put an outer
quantifier in front of the mass/set, e.g., "{re lei nanmu}" refers to two
groups of men which act independently and may or may not be completely
distinct, and likewise for "{re le'i nanmu}."  See
<http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=How%20to%20use%20xorlo> (among
other places) for more information.
