What would be an example bridi with {cinse} in that sense? And how
would that possibility be a trouble?

We already can say things like {cinse fi so'i da} or {cinse fo ma},
but you seemed to be suggesting you couldn't and wanted to add
"explicit" places for that, so I guessed you were talking about some
hypothetical new {cinse} with a different place structure.

According to the current definition, the x4 is the standard by which
the x3 is deduced from the x2. How would "gender performance" etc. be
such a reference frame? Sounds more like the x2, the event in which a
gender is exhibited.
