You can combine exact and inexact (indefinite) numbers, which is like 
joining them with {.e}.

E.g.

      lo pendo be mi cu se panzi so'i mu nixli
      lo pendo be mi cu se panzi vei so'i .e mu nixli
      "A friend of mine is the parent of many five girls."
      "A friend of mine is the parent of five (which is a lot) girls."

Or:

      ro ci djuno cu morsi
      "All three knowers are dead."

There are some other nice things that can be done with joint numbers, 
like {su'o re su'e mu mlatu} "at least 2 and at most 5 cats", but this 
might lead us too far off. If it gets too technical, then the main list 
is more appropriate.
