Sorry, quantity not property.
  
A zi'evla might be better than a lujvo in this instance, if only because the rafsi suck.

A zi'evla is actually a must, because the lujvo couldn't have the desired place structure, "x1 measures x2 meters per second (by standard x3)".

Um, no. My example couldn't be used for that at all: {li vo parbi loni mitre ku loni snidu} = "5 m/s", which would be the x2 of the above.
 
Even if you throw jvajvo out the window completely, there's some serious place structure craziness going on if one were to assign parbi zei mitre zei snidu that definition. (Also, the lujvo should have parbi *last* because its the main claim.)
