Yes, and ... That is, of course, one of the problems with lambda-bound-variable {ce'u}: it looks the same wherever it turns up and it is hard sometimes to work out the exact scope of an occurrence. (I am not sure that example does mean "the property of being intensely blue," but as McKay points out several times, the logic of adverbs is not well worked out: some say it requires quantification over events (in which case, Lojban is ready) some say over abstractions like properties (in which case Lojban is still ready) and some say neither of these can be right — but can give no positive theory yet (in which case Lojban will limb along doing the best it can — which seems to be enough).

{lo ka ce'u blanu} is the property of being blue.
{lo ka ce'u carmi lo ka ce'u blanu} is the property
of being intensely blue (more precisely the property
of being intense in the property of being blue).
They are both one-place properties. In the second case,
the second {ce'u} is not bound at the same level as the
first.
