Being a little rusty in both areas here, I proceed in terror.  But it seems to me that 'ce' only joins noun phrases, so this needs the other two 'lo' at least.  I don't know whether 'ce' also forces 'ku', though it seems it should.  I'm also not sure about the 'jai' -- this doesn't seem to be raising a prepositional object to argument status, mainly because nothing here is a preposition.

Ooops!  I forgot
4 How do we do the restricted choices:  "Which (at most) one do you want?" and so on.  Can 'ma' be quantified?

 do djica tu'a ma noi cmima  lo titnanba kuce lo nabypalne kuce lo bisyladru

Is «ma du lo titnanba ce nabypalne ce bisyladru ku'a [jai] se djica [be do]» works, or we do need that number of "kucelo"s?
