You can also use "pa mei" as a selbri for "x1 is singular". For example:

 lo gerku cu pa mei
 (the one that really is 'dog' is singular)

But this doesn't necessarily make reference to the entire world; it
might be referring to a dog who is alone in a park, while other dogs
might exist in other places. If the "whole space" tense is added:

 lo gerku cu ve'e pa mei

... this still leaves the possibility of "a multitude of dogs existing
alone over the entire space".
