I take {gunma pa xunre dacti} to mean "consists of exactly one
red piece", no other pieces of any kind. In other words, I take
{gunma} to mean what you use {mulgunma} for. In other words,
if a koan ko'a consists of ko'e and ko'i, I would say:

ko'a gunma koe joi ko'i
"ko'a consists of ko'e and ko'i together"

and not

ko'a gunma ko'e .e ko'i

Which to me does not mean "ko'a contains ko'e and ko'a contains
ko'i" but "ko'a consists of ko'e" and at the asme time "ko'a consists
of ko'i", which would only make sense if ko'e and ko'i are the same
things.
