When you want to use a number of unspecif= ied things in lojban, for example: "Three are going" or "Five are blue= -green" , what would one use?
{mu cu blari'o} and {mu zo'e blari'= o} sounded grammatically incorrect.
{li mu cu blari'o} would refe= r to the number 5 being blue-green, right?
Using {mei} would be a= possibility, but it would imply they did/are that en masse, which means it= wouldn't work with for example {klama}
I expect a simple constru= ct, since in lojban it generally is made easy to choose what you want = to include and what not.

I've been looking for the answ= er to this question and it is probably a simple one, yet I couldn't find it= anywhere.

Thanks in advance,
din.
