Then xxxikoku really means "i is one of o, u", not the set.
If it means "i is set {o, u}" then I think you want "ri lo brafo lu
crefu la'a'a xxxa'a'akoku cmmika'a'a jtni"

Is "complement predication" meant to be always the following sentence?
So something like Lojban's "la'e di'e"? I'd rather it meant "the
following" and not the overprecise "the following (single)
predication".
