        And how would you determine when to use that interpretation and
        when to
        use the current one?


    What?

    Tanru depend on context, that's how you glork their expansion. What
    is "the current interpretation"? You make it sound like I changed
    anything.


The current interpretation is {lo broda brode} == {lo brode cu klesi lo
broda}


I suggest you reread sections 14 and 15 of
 http://www.lojban.org/publications/reference_grammar/chapter5.html


And forgive me for not trying to figure out all the meanings of
melbi cmalu tsani ckule that can be expressed using the appropriate insertion of cmavo, assuming that tsani is a name rather than real brivla (and not necessarily the name of something that can be meaningfully melbi and/or cmalu)

"lo me la tsani ku/me'u brode" works for me if I really want to use a name in a tanru, and it has the advantage that I know it is a name and not an ordinary brivla, and the grammar is clear even if not "simple".
