That would be {mi skicu re re lo pendo}

> the translation without 'boi' would be 'I describe the num= ber 22 to a

Yes, the term governed by {li} takes up one sumti slot.
And {li} takes the longest following string which matches a number expressi= on,
which in this case is {re re}.

li is an article (gadri) just like le, lo, la, but li takes numbers= after it. =A0
