The scope of the quantifier. And was talking about something
like:

le tansi cu tisna loi plise
The bowl is filled with apples.

But {le tansi cu tisna lo plise} means that there is
at least one apple that fills the bowl, which is false,
because there is no apple that fills the bowl by itself.
The apples can only fill the bowl in collaboration, as
it were.
