I am more and more sympathetic to that idea as well. I think
that without an implicit quantifier, we would naturally fall
into the Kind interpretation of bare {lo}.

The ma'oste defines {<n> si'e} as "one <n>th", and CLL repeats
this definition, but I suspect the intention was for <n> to
be the fraction rather than the denominator. The BF should
clarify this.
