I've been thinking about it since you asked, and my feeling is that
the process would be most useful for the third place. For instance a
rollie has a tersigja of "you take a paper, wrap the selsigja in it,
roll it tight, lick it and stick it", while a honey blunt has the
tersigja of "you remove most of the tobacco from a cigar, put the
selsigja in instead, roll it into a conical shape and seal it with
honey and toast it dry with a lighter". It would be easy enough under
that interpretation to say "tu'a la marlboros." — some process
related to the thing named Marlboro, presumably "you take a big smelly
factory, a pile of chemicals, and lots of really cheap tobacco, etc".

Could we form some sort of za'e gimkamni to make rulings on these
sorts of things? Gejyspa, you seem to have taken an interest in rare
gismu places lately. I'm also interested myself. Why can't we come
up with a formal process to make sense of these things? Anything even
vaguely clear would be a vast improvement over the word "by" po'o,
imho..

Yes, I came to the conclusioin, although from a different line of reasoning.

It's true. I've been trying to memorize all the non-x1 places of
the gismu. Although obviously, the death of my brother pu t abit of a
crimp on it, I'm currently on the second pass through the llist.
