{ro} means "each". "All" in logic also always means "each".
In ordinary language, "all" is sometimes used for the collective
meaning, but in Lojban {ro} always means "each".

{le so'o valsi} is "each of several words", and a word is
normally not a valsi so'omei.

{gi'enai pa valsi} is not grammatical. You need a selbri
after gi'enai and {pa valsi} is a sumti. Maybe {me pa valsi},
but {valsi} alone is better.
