But none of those would be 1-placers. (And in any case, why would
exptal gismu differ from fu'ivla in this respect?) The place
structure of mango is trivially: "x1 is a mango of species x2".
Anyone with a minimum familiarity with the gi'uste can guess 
that. The place structure for pitsa is not so immediately
self-evident, but I would bet everyone would come up with "x1 
is a pizza with ingredients x2". Again some familiarity with
the gi'uste almost imposes that place structure. The place 
structure for taksi is perhaps the least obvious of the three, 
but almost certainly I would bet it has the passengers/cargo 
in x2.
