Perhaps {lo nu broda cu mulno} <==> {ba'o mo'u broda}, since the
LHS is tenseless so the RHS should be tenseless too.

Yes, I suppose that it has to work for activities too:

   le nu mi bajra cu mulxadba ze'a le pamoi mentu gi'eku'i
   mulno ze'a le drata temci
   My running was half-hearted for the first minutes, but
   to the full for the rest of the time.

Do you have an example?

I suppose we could say that for events the full place structure
applies too, with x2 being {le ka ce'u fasnu}:

   le nu mi klama le zarci cu mulno le ka fasnu}
   My going to the market is complete in its occurring.

   le nu mi gleki cu mulno le ka fasnu
   My being happy is complete in its occurring.
