Hopefully in binary at least, that would at least increase the bound to 31..
That sentence is not difficult at all in my opinion. {.u'i}

I was thinking that, but I didn't reply because it would have been unproductive.

{lo banli pensi vo'a se pensi simsa} (great minds think alike)

 

Maybe
{ju'o do na skudji lonu ba'e broda}
"Surely you don't mean to say -something unspecified-"
works?

That doesn't work for the same reason as {ko'a}; I may have used {cei} somewhere to bind it.

 

That way you leave the different values for your /X/ up to context.
Honestly speaking, I'm not really sure I understood your english example.
What is it supposed to mean?

If I say "You are not allowed to say things like 'X is stupid'", I don't mean that you're not allowed to call a particular person stupid but that you're not allowed to call anyone stupid; however, I'm not using {da} to bind to the referent of your insult. Instead I'm providing a template for making a bridi and telling you not to use any bridi that could be made using that template.
 

I can't find a scenario in which the /X/ would
not take a specific value depending on context.

It's not so much that /X/ doesn't take a specific value as that it doesn't take a specific value at time of utterance.
