I assume that "the entity concerned" refers both to the cat and the bed
in the first example and the cat and the mice in the second.

Then {na'o} is not really about the referents of the sumti in question,
but about the associated typical ones? The second sentence would be a
merging of {lo mlatu ta'e kalte loi smacu} with {lo'e mlatu ta'e kalte
lo'e smacu}?
