*Hello everyone!

lei nanmu ba bevri le pipno**
*
roughly means "the men are carrying the piano" with the implication that
they're doing it together, as a "mass".

*le'i nanmu cu barda*

means that the set of men is large, that is, the men are many.

What if I want to speak of two groups of men carrying pianos independantly?
Is there a way to refer to several masses? What about several sets?

Many thx for any help!

Best,
 Squark
