I can't get my head round the notion of multiple referents. To my way of thinking, the referent is the group; if one derives from that the predicate "x is a member of the group referred to", then certainly the poi/noi distinction makes sense. Hence to me, KOhA poi/noi is comparable to "li mu (ku) poi/noi" (in which perhaps more clearly the poi/noi contrast would seem to be vacuous).
Welcome to the club, of sorts. But do not despair; you can have your cake and xorxes his without more than verbal befuddlement. The logic of multiple reference and quantification is exactly the same as the logic of L-sets (mereology, the part-whole relationship: Lesniewski, Goodman, Leonard, Quine), so saying 'some brodas' or 'a bunch of brodas' works exactly the same way (pace Ockham).
