There is the numeric tense {roi}, which, prefixed by a number, tells you 
how many times a given event occurs:

	mi vo roi klama
	"I go four times."

(it can also tag a sumti, which specifies the interval during which the 
repititions occur)

"Four traversals" as a sumti would be "vo nu kuckla" (four events of 
going), while "an event of traversing four times" would be {[lo] nu vo 
roi kuckla}.
