A few days ago I posted a paradigm that concluded just this.
set: lu'ilo'i lu'ile'i lu'ila'i
quantified: PAlo'i PAle'i PAla'i = PAlo/le/la
substance: lu'olo'i lu'ole'i lu'ola'i
collective: lu'oilo'i lu'oile'i lu'oila'i
'unique': lu'ailo'i lu'aile'i lu'aila'i
+ if typicality is to be done by gadri:
archetype: lu'eilo'i lu'eile'i lu'eila'i
AFAICS the only objection to these is their polysyllabicity.
I strove to make them all the same length, even though some
of them admit shorter versions due to the accidents of
Lojban history.
