I am confused by 'pa lei' - it seems to me to mean 'one of the-
mass(es)-of' - in other words, the whole mass, taken once. I think that
once you have massified by 'lei', you need 'pi' to pick out part of the
mass again - but there is no obviously appropriate number.

I wonder why you are massifying at all? 'pa le li'o tricu' would work.
