Re: [jboske] The ugly head of ni



la xod. cusku di'e

I've read this whole thread, and if John said something along the lines
of ni+ce'u is used for counting the number of objects which fulfill the
ce'u place, then I didn't reply because I figured I had already stated
my position or I didn't have a chance or I forgot. My best guess is that
you are referring to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jboske/message/268,




See 273.

Okay, but I don't see how "the amount of cruelty to Jim" amounts to counting the number of cruel people. A single person can be more or less cruel to Jim. Since we don't normally think of degrees of being inside a bag, that distinction collapses (probably to jei) for 'nenri le dakli'.
