{le ka ce'u xendo zo'e zo'e} is a property.

as {le ka zo'e xendo zo'e zo'e}) is a quality.

Properties are properties of something; qualities are in and of
themselves.

But if qualities are in and of themselves, why do they have all those spaces
for the things they are qualities of (actually relations among)?  I take it
you mean properties are properties of individuals, qualities are properties
of tuples or relations among individuals.  Why not just use the standard
(since at least 1858) terminology?
