Well, yes, that is what I said. Thank you for linking the relevant section.=
=20
(I was reading and commenting on the translation while travelling yesterday=
=20
and had no comfortable web access, and no red book at hand.)

In the meantime I have located the English text on the net. It says 'three=
=20
or four chairs' there=20
<http://www.gutenberg.org/files/55/55-h/55-h.htm#chap01>.

So Selpa'i does use {ji'i} in a peculiar way. (Systematically, I think,=20
there is at least one similar occurence later in the text.) Is this=20
Selpa'i's innovation, or where does it come from, and how does it work?=20
There is a link titled 'ji'i ?' at=20
<http://www.lojban.org/tiki/BPFK+Section%3A+Inexact+Numbers> (near the=20
bottom of the page), but it doesn't work for some reason.
