Ok, you're right, they're different.

I guess it does, but in this example it makes no difference,
right?

But {ko'a poi broda cu brode} does not mean
{ko'a broda gi'e brode}. The first says that of all the
referents of ko'a, those that are broda are also
brode, whereas the second says that all of the referents
are both broda and brode.
