I realized I was unclear the second I hit "Send" :( Sorry.

I meant  the confusion between the relations:

   "x1 is the word 'Tranquility' spoken on the Moon ... etc"
   "x1 is a state of tranquility experencied by ... etc"

we just say "tranquility" in both cases.

My argument is that for the first relation, a specific usage of an English word, I would propose a fui'vla ({trankuilti} if we agree to solve the accent issue this way) and for the second i would use the lujvo  {tolxanka} ({nu tolxanka}).

Hope I managed to be a little bit clearer.
