Sure, that works.
Would
lo ka'ejanaica'a selcmi be da
satisfy as an empty set?

Use it for purposes of argument, of course, ;P
Anyway I'm not so sure about all this. It seems that it would be
somewhat unfortunate if we can't say "le selcmi be noda", when
there's a clear, useful interpretation of it (which I still don't
think entails "na selcmi", only "na selcmi be da").
Also (and back to the original thing), what about "lu'i no da" for
empty set?
