The x1 tells you which sorcu you mean. You can be as precise as you want in
filling the x1 place, I don't see how the container contributes much more
to determine it.

It took me a while to realize that you meant {derxi}, and not "hitter" :)
{lo derxi pamei} goes in x1 as I understand it:

        lo derxi pamei cu sorcu lo mudri
      The single pile is a supply of wood.
