But notice that this means {lu'i ko'a} is a set that includes ko'a
but does not necessarily exclude anything else.
If we want the set that has ko'a and only ko'a as a member, we
can't use {selcmi}. If we use a broda that means "x1 has x2 as its
only member", then we can't use it for {lu'i ko'a e ko'e} to
get {ko'a ce ko'e}...
