Unless {ko'a goi lei ci broda}, because then {lei ci broda du le ci broda}
-
which I assume you are going to agree with.
No, I don't. The mass of three is not equal to each of the three.
Even if you take {lei ci broda} as {pisu'o lei ci broda}, which
I don't, it is still false that some part of the mass is equal
to each of the three. In the pisu'o case though it is true that
{le ci broda du piusu'o lei ci broda}, each of the three is equal
to some part of the mass. But the order of the quantifiers is
relevant!
Since part of the mass that is
ko'a is the pamai broda, the whole mass has the property of being the pamai
broda; the same goes for the remai and cimai.
The whole mass does not have all the properties of its parts,
only some of them.
