Right. Those are all officially correct glosses. I have no
problem with the last two, my problem is with the first one.
I want to read it as the third one, not as the second one.
I start from the premise that:
<tag> broda = <tag>ku broda = <tag> <sumti> broda
(these might be strict equalities or approximations, it
doesn't matter, but they surely hold at least roughly for
all tags except for the official interpretation of
{pu'o <sumti> broda} and {ba'o <sumti> broda}. These should
be more precise forms of {pu'o broda} and {ba'o broda}, but
they get more or less the opposite meaning.
