But that's only because you have already decided that lo se djica has
to be a nu.

If "ko'a broda ko'e" makes sense for some brivla, it shouldn't make
any difference if that brivla is a gismu or a lujvo.

If the brivla "tolcaudji" makes perfect logical sense, then a gismu
with the same meaning should also make perfect logical sense.

That's fine, of course, we all have our personal likes and dislikes.
What I was objecting to is saying that an ordinary object as the x2 of
djica wouldn't make "logical sense". To me it's the restriction that
seems arbitrary and pointless.
