I don't really care, so far. I hadn't seen a need for lu'i until
you pointed out that "lu'i su'o broda" can replace "lau'i broda".

I want lu'i lo'i broda to be the set that has lo'i broda as its
only member rather than the set that has the members of lo'i
broda as its members.

In one sense, there would be no other gadri but lo'i/le'i/la'i,
except as abbreviations.

But that doesn't really answer your question. I suppose my
current answer is that whatever the answer, it needs to be
consistent with reducing non-set gadri to LAhE+set gadri.

I don't see you can make these compatible:

1-    lu'o lo'i broda = loi broda
2-    lu'o ro lo broda = loi broda
3-    lu'o da poi selcmi be ro broda = loi broda

2 and 3 are incompatible. I want 2. You want 1 and 3.
