The first one suggests that lo se mitre and lo se cacra are plain num= bers,
while the second states that lo se mitre is something more complicated
which refers to a number.

No they don't. The f= irst one says that "I am 5 meters long. An event of teaching is 5 hour= s long. I am a-number-of-meters-measuring something-measured-in-hours which= -is an-event-of teaching."

The second one says "The referent of something-that-is-measured-in= -meters is a-number. Something-measured-in-meters is a-quantity measured-by= a-number in-scale the-idea-of a unit of-standard the-international in-scal= e the-property-of being long".

The two are wholly unrelated statements.
