Which usage of kancu4 is more correct? Both?

The first one says that there are exactly two of the eyes which you are using as the units to count people, which barely makes sense.

Why two ?

Oops, my mistake. I read "re lo kanla" even after I had read "li pa re". (So I read it as if it had been "li pa re boi re lo kanla") In any case, counting people as 12 eyes doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Presumably it's only six people, but could be more.
