Ah so. I guess I was thinking of having hit upon a group of five broda and then taaking three out of that. If we keep the {lo mu broda} as "any group of five broda" rather than "a group of five broda, then it seems there is no use for the partitive sense. I suppose that the second sense ("a group") is to be {su'o lo mu broda} or some such and the partitive gotten at using {lu'a} (or something like it for the right sort of entity).

For example, for {ci lo mu broda}, the choice is between "three groups
of five broda" and "three members of any group of five broda".

I want some example of use for the second case, to judge how useful
it might be. I already gave some examples of the first case.
