The way I see it, any {lo broda} is an individual (or an
individual-collection). It doesn't matter what {broda} is. What
kind of
individuals there are in {lo broda} depends on {broda}, but they are
still always individuals. There is no difference between {lo
ckafi} and
{lo prenu} in terms of individualness.
Do you still mean
"SUMTI is individual" =ca'e {RO DA poi ke'a me SUMTI zo'u SUMTI me DA}
with the term "individual"?
If so, keeping {lo broda} to be individual requires attentiveness on the
universe of discourse, and reduces the flexibility of the language.
Note that I said "is an individual or an individual-collection". That
is, {lo broda} can refer to one individual or to multiple individuals,
but we are always dealing in terms of individuals. It doesn't mean that
{lo broda} must be singular, it only means that whether or not it is
plural, the only referents it has are individuals.
