Although xorxes and John Clifford seem to understand my point (whether or not they agree), I am least happy that I am formulating my POV in a comprehensible manner. And yet, here I am being sucked in again, because you refuse to leave it go.

"all of the trained assassins" (ro lo broda), given no context, can
mean one thousand (ki'o lo broda) or none (no lo broda) or else. In
any case, it refers to "the trained assassins" (lo broda), something
-- not nothing, not nomei.
Then I leave you with a question. If broda = "the trained assassins that I am sending your way", Then "no lo xo broda"? If you insist I can only send you zero OF some trained assassins, then how many assassins am I sending you none OF? Please quanitfy that number for me. For whether you know the answer or not (or indeed, whether one CAN know what the answer is or not), there must be some answer to it. You can always state an inner and outer qualifier.
