Well, in a contrived example, if we were sorting our menagerie into two
groups, one with a large number of total animals and one with a small
number of total animals, the way in which the elephant is cmalu may be
that it belongs to the smaller group.

The places of broda are filled by zo'e, which draws from a larger
context than just the current bridi, as does the co'e implicit in the
tanru.  We're still claiming {ta poi xanto cu co'e zo'e poi cmalu}
implicitly with {ta cmalu xanto}, though.
