I'm having real trouble understanding what you mean by "the predicate itself as an abstract concept". You can certainly find the idea of broda intersting - "lo si'o broda cu cinri", but I expect that's not what you mean? Is there any way you can put your abstract example into a more concrete one?

Is there a way to take a selbri and make a sumti that is not "an x1 of broda" but simply "broda"; like "broda is interesting", having not to do with an event, proposition, etc. of broda, but just the predicate itself, as an abstract concept? About the only idea I have is to use {lo selbri be fa zo broda} which seems like a pretty terrible way of doing it.
