Re: [lojban] What gets into 'lo broda'

Well, with 'pa' it doesn't make much difference, since 'ro' automatically picks out individuals and in pameis 'ro'oi' has only individuals to pick out.  But, if something is not a pamei then 'ro' still just gets individuals but 'ro'oi' (which is no an ideal word, but, since it will be rare, what the Hell) will get several, not all of which will be the same as the original. So, 'ro'oi' here is used as part of the general scheme which is to go on to larger numbers.

Why do you need {ro'oi} there?  Why not {ro}?

(Sorry if that's a stupid question.  I'm not familiar with
these plural quantifiers.)
