I want a gimste that would teach 1. te sumti interactions 2. what type can go into each place. 3. how plurality is formed inside each place if applicable.

If you can see other goals (like e.g. improving semantic categorization) you are free to add new columns or ask me if it requires some automation.

More than a semantic categorization, I'd like a categorization of place structures with relatively few categories, each category with many members. Categories such as "x1 is a ... consisting of x2", "x1 is a ... of x2", "x1 is ... in property x2", "x1 is ... relative to x2 in property x3", "x1 feels ... about x2", and so on.   

 
Out of {ce'o}, {jo'u}, {joi} casnu1 can accept {jo'u} but not {ce'o},

If a queue of people are discussing something, or if they are just taking turns to speak, could that not be a porsi discussing something?

porsi1 can accept {ce'o} but not {jo'u} (unless that jo'u connect sumti then connected with {ce'o} again, right?

What about "lo latmo selyle'u jo'u lo xelso selyle'u cu porsi", with no "ce'o" involved?
 

If I define
porsi1 as "x1 (any type; {ce'o} for showing sequence)"
casnu1 as just "x1 (any type)"
gunma as "x1 (any type; {joi} for showing mass)"
would it be okay?

Personally, I avoid the word "mass".  I also avoid using "joi", since I prefer "ko'a jo'u ko'e" for a plural reference and "lo gunma be ko'a jo'u ko'e" for a reference to the emerging group.

Which places besides porsi1 are you going to be marking with ce'o? liste1? lerfu2? pruce4?
