Interesting. Now that I fully understand your reasoning I think
it makes sense. This applies to interpetations of all the tags as
you were saying. So
sera'a ro le re gerku mi se batci
would indicate I was bitten 2 times under your interpretation, which
probably makes more sense actually, as I could just say
sera'a lei gerku mi se batci
to get the other interpretation.
Oh I just thought of another point: it seems to be more similar to
to how it would be treated in the actual sumti place of a bridi:
fi'o se srana ro le re gerku mi se batci
So I now think your interpretation is better.
As far as I can tell, there's nothing in the book defining tag+sumti
when the sumti has a quantifier other than a su'opa which is expected
to refer to a single thing, and since it's technically all within
one term the left-to-right stuff doesn't really address it. So
this definitely needs to be clarified.
How is this stuff usually done? If it isn't documented somewhere
as a clarification and made quasi-official (whichever way the
interpretation goes) there's no way to prevent it from being used
both ways...
