What's wrong with that?  The rose is a red thing.  The red thing is a rose.  I don't see what the problem is

Actually, what do you make of this argument for not taking it too
literally:

{lo rozgu cu xunre}
   == {zo'e noi rozgu cu xunre}
   == {zo'e rozgu gi'e xunre}
   == {zo'e xunre gi'e rozgu}
   == {zo'e noi xunre cu rozgu}
   == {lo xunre cu rozgu}
