I guess the number in "the Seven Generation Law" is not meant cardinal
but ordinal, related to the ecological concept of "seven generation
sustainability, which is about working "for the benefit of the seventh
generation into the future":

"generation" in this instance is not a fasnu (which is what the x1 of
"rapli" is) but a communal entity.

Alternatively, you could further specify the type of our invention
with "gundi". Maybe "gudyfi'i".
