It is true that lo lanzu is semantically a jbomass, because jbomasses are what
fit into the x1 place of lanzu; therefore, loi lanzu is a jbomass whose parts
are jbomasses (families). Analogously for lo simxu, which is semantically
a jboset, and so lo'i simxu is the jboset of all such jbosets.
But these facts, interesting as they are, do not count as evidence that lo
is in general ambiguous between individual, jbomass, and jboset.
