Now that I think about it again, I don't agree that
{lei nanmu cu citka lo plise} is similar to
{su'o nanmu cu citka lo plise}. It really depends on
what exactly does {citka} mean. Does eating a fraction
of an apple count as "eating an apple"?
It better, since most people who eat apples only eat a fraction of them,
discarding the core.
I think it doesn't,
so if some men (as a group, together) eat an apple, it may
be the case than none of them can be said to have eaten an
apple by himself.
