I guess, although perhaps {bivjge} would work just as well. It is not
clear that the pronoun {bi bu} is closer than the number {bi} to the
figure "8". Or perhaps {bivjge} suggests {jgena be bi da}?

{me'o bi} could presumably also be "VIII", "eight", "bi" or any other
expression that refers to the number eight, but I suppose "8" is the
most likely one.

(Would a {bivbu'ijge} be different from a {ci'i bu zei jgena}?)
