These two definitions are not consistent with one another. By the
second one, (in which {ci lo re plise} means "three pairs of apples"),
{ro le ci broda} would mean "all the triples of brodas" (assuming that
lo and le quantify the same way, which I'll grant is not a given). I
don't know that xorxes' XS and And's are definitely intended to be in
perfect agreement, but it looks like they aren't here.
