Here is a way if recovering the concept of an individual elephant just from the concepts of elephants and parthood:
A xanto pamei is something that is xanto and that can't be divided in two things such that each one is xanto.

That may (perhaps) work for xanto, but it won't work for djacu. or even worse, for kurfa. 

I was pretty sure I was missing something, yes.

With {djacu}, that doesn't create any issues in defining what can be {lo pa djacu}, but with {kurfa}, that means that the concept of kurfa pamei precedes that of kurfa, right? I guess this is what troubles danr.
