[lojban] a fourth "we" in English?



It occurred to me the other day, that while in lojban we have three "we"s -- mi'o (me and you), mi'a (me and not-you), ma'a (me, you, and not-you), that "we" is used in English in another way, which doesn't involve "me" at all -- such as "We beat the Yankees" or "We shouldn't rape our enemies's woman, that's just wrong".  I guess this is metonymy? Anyway, is there a way to do this in lojban?
