I came up with
{i'a nai pau nai do djuno lo du'u ma kau cu velve'u lo zu'o tadni vi lo xam= pre ckule}
after 1) looking at the long usage note on {jdima} and 2) noting that an amount of money is indicated not by a number {PA} but a sumti {lo rupnu be li xo} -- so it seems that {ma} is the correct interrogative sumti for the abstracted bridi.
