That would be one possibility. "tei" and "tau" are what I would have
liked for "la'e di'u" and "la'e de'u", or something like that.  But I
wouldn't mind not having "di'u" (and all its cousins) there in the
first place. "lu'e tei", "lu'e tau" would have been the compounds to
be used in the more rare cases when we do want to refer to the
expressions themselves.

What ambiguity do you have in mind?
