I have always understood this slightly differently, that the further
quantification is a further restriction:

	ci da poi nanmu ... re da ...
	three men ... two of the three men ...

The problem with that is that "the three men" in the
second part is not always a well defined set. Suppose you
say "It is not the case that three men are inside
the house. Two of the three men ..." Of which three men???
