massified:
the individuating boundaries of each broda are erased, so that 
multiple broda form a single sludge:
  The bowl contains *apple*.
  There was *dog* all over the pavement.

collectivized:
a group of things jointly
  The *apples* filled the bowl.

average:
an imaginary broda that in its properties is representative of
broda in general.
As for *which* average, I think that it should be glorked from
context. But I wouldn't to further LAhE that specify particular
sorts of representatives (prototype, mean, median, mode).

unique:
"the one and only broda"; all broda are treated as the same one broda.
  *Blue* is my favourite colour.
  *Monday* is the first day of the week.
  *B* is the second letter of the alphabet.
  I like *sherry*.
  *Sherry* is sweet.
  *The platypus* lays eggs.
  *The Afghan* is a dangerous foe.
  Is *the pope* catholic?

--And.
