3 questions: A) You can say le verba (the 2 children) You can say le re verba (the 2 children) You can say re le verba (2 of the (unspecified number of)
children) You can say li re (2 as a quantity) You can say re li re (2 of number 2s, in whatever context
that might mean) But I can’t figure out how to say “the 2
2’s” For example, saying (and this may be malglico, in which case I
apologize in advance) “The 3 sticks measured-in-meters were 2 2’s,
and a 3” (And yes, I know you CAN circumlocute this in various ways, but
I was talking more directly.) I’ve tried li re boi re, but that
doesn’t parse. Is there a way to do it? B) bitmu means fence or wall, but is there a way to
unambiguously state which is meant? They’re pretty different
things. In my story, I went with mudbi’u in an effort to try
to hint I meant a fence, but walls can be made out of wood, too. This
also leads to my third question: C) Is there a brivla meaning something akin to “x1 is
a mesh/network/2-dimensional linkage connecting a set x2”? It might
have come in handier in B than mudri
