mei, latest cause celebre

[Nick Nicholas <opoudjis@optushome.com.au>]

My contention that {mei} means 'collective' should be easily proven by 
usage, btw.

Does anyone ever use {remei} when {pamei} would also be true? If so, 
mass. If not, collective.

Does anyone ever use {remei} when {pisu'omei} would also be true? If 
so, substance. If not, collective.

And that's built in to our treatment of numbers anyway, right? Because 
we've passed law that {re} is always {su'ore}.
