So, apparently, {vecnu} works as {fa} sells {fe} to {fi} for {fo}
amount, but when I put it into Camxes, it tells me that it's supposed to
be {fa} {fe} {fo} {fi}.
for example, {mi vecnu lo tabjme bliku rodo 2000}, the proper order,
doesn't work, but {mi vecnu lo tabjme bliku 2000 rodo} works. How is
that supposed to work?!
That is because {2000 ro do} is the same as {re no no no ro do}, which is "all 2000 of you", it's one quantified sumti.
To convert a number like {re nonono) (2000) to a sumti, you have to use {li} (an article just like {lo}, except it turns numbers into sumti). {li re nonono} (or {li 2000}) is "2000" as a sumti.
{mi vecnu lo tabjme bliku ro do li 2000} will parse as you intended it.
Precisely speaking, you're not selling things for "2000" (the
mathematical value) but for 2000 dollars or whatever the currency is. So
more correct would be {lo rupnu be li 2000}.
