But "one more" usually has not so much to do with typical values, but with already established values. "I want one more cookie", means one on top of all the ones I've had, whether typical or not. What's the typical number of cookies one wants, anyway? Besides, there should be a way of saying this with simple PAs, no operators. {paza'u} is very tempting, but I think that's not how {za'u} is supposed to work. Jorge
