The inner quantifier is part of the name, so it means &quot;The Nine Pintup=

<br>
You can force distributivity with an outer quantifier: &quot;ro la so pintu=

To make it explicitly collective, you could say &quot;lu&#39;o la so pintup=
i&quot;.<br>
In both cases, we don&#39;t know how many pintupi there are.<br>
