It's not in the quantifier, but in the predicate, "a quantity of water".  I=
t is sometimes covert; we don't define {gerku} as "a body of dog".  As I ha=
ve said, there are a raft of problems here and no consistent solution for t=
hem.  But there has also not been a discussion of them for a long time and =
it appears that over that time, folks have wandered off in a variety of dir=
ections without considering the consequences.  So, it would be nice to take=
 up these issues one at a time (insofar as that is possible) and try again =
to settle them.
