[bpfk] pi PA [sumti]



http://www.lojban.org/tiki/BPFK+Section:+gadri

piPA [sumti]  =  lo piPA si'e be pa me [sumti]

http://www.lojban.org/tiki/BPFK+Section%3A+Numeric+selbri

cmavo: si'e (MOI)
Proposed Definition

Converts a number, lerfu-string or ME-converted sumti into a tanru-unit. The place structure in the case of a number is "x1 is/are a [number]th of x2". In general for any sumti the place structure is "x1 is a part/fraction of x2, quantified by [number/lerfu/sumti]".

Isn't there a contradiction between the proposed expansion for {pi PA [sumti]} and the definition of {si'e}?
Shouldn't the former be {pi PA [sumti] = lo me li pa fe'i PA me'u si'e be...}, or something like that?

Besides, isn't it weird that {pi ro ko'a} has a different meaning from {pa ko'a}?
