For the general case, I think you need, as you already proposed, a selbri that means something like "x1 qua x2 is/does x3". Making x3 the main bridi with "qua" as a tag has the same sort of problems that "zmadu" has, since you want to distinguish: I give you this as your friend. I give you this as a present. I give you this as my friend. where in each case the "as"-term is linked to a different argument. So it seems to me the best thing is either use a selbri meaning "qua" in the main bridi, or make a lujvo (like the -mau lujvo) that already selects which argument is being qualified.
I think you can attach the "qua" tag with a {be} or {pe} to attach it to one of the arguments. The problem right now is just that no such selbri exists, and I don't know what to do about that. It's somewhat urgent that this word be made, but at the same time, making new gismu is not easily accepted.
Since this concept seems so widely applicable, it would seem to be useful to have a gismu for it that begins with x, so that one of the remaining experimentals of the xV'V series can be used as its BAI.
I just don't want to go too far on my own only to be forced later to undo everything.
Also, the current theatre project from the other thread is a place where this construction is required and I have to finish it by this Monday. I'm not sure what to do now...
