Quantifiable pro-bridi are an abomination on the language. Fortunately
they aren't needed. Here's a way of doing it with ordinary quantification,
even if it does take a few more words:

        su'o da su'o de poi na zo vreta zo'u
                da de bridi le mlatu ku ce'o le stizu ije da jetnu

    There is some x, and there is some y which is not "lies on", such that:
               x is a predication with selbri y and arguments (the cat, the
chair),
               and x is true.
