I think the latter works for ke'a, but not for ce'u, except perhaps for a
coreference to an upper-level ka, and in that case, which ce'u (if there is
more than one) is meant?

Yuck, ptui!  Thinking of nested {ka}-phrases.  I suppose it has to be done,
but still...
I hadn't in fact thought of it nor do I think that in the long run the
nesting is going to make a major difference (I have to runs some lambdas
through to check, but the whole seem to be extensional).  What I intended --
and still would, were we to use this system (which we are not) -- was that
the numbers would be assigned in strict left to right order (levels thus
ignored) and actually written out only when coreferencing was required : le
ka ce'u frica ce'u leka ce'uxino zmadu ce'uxipa.  (dumnb example, but what do
you want?)
