How *do* we do "no fraction, su'o fraction, me'i fraction, ro fraction"? How would you it were done, I mean.
I suppose this should work: {no lo pisu'o lo broda},
{su'o lo pisu'o lo broda}, {me'i lo pisu'o lo broda},
{ro lo pisu'o lo broda}.
What do you think of this tentative idea: piQ turns whatever
it quantifies into Substance. I've been thinking that anything
that can be fractioned has to be a Substance (leaving aside for
the moment my interpretation of piQ with collectives).
This might allow us to keep lei/loi for both Collective and
Substance: with inner quantifier it is Collective, but with
outer piQ it is Substance because only substances can be so
quantified. (I can't see what difference could there be between
{piro lo tu'o remna} and {piro loi tu'o remna} though.)
