Good point.  And it does have the advantage that {naru'e} is still {na},
whereas {pu'o snada} is {fliba}.  

<What are {so'e panono}, {so'i panono}, etc. then?>
Good question. Something will turn up for them, I'm sure; for now they set an
upper bound within which the many and most and few occur.  But see the other
way of doing "almost 100"

<>I have no suggestion for "barely over 100" off the top of mu head.

{za'uru'e panono}?>

I'm not sure how farwe can push these emotion intensity things beyond
emotions; factuality or confidence seems OK, numericals less so somehow.  And
then why not use them as "tenses" {mi ru'e fliba tu'a le trene} or is that
{fliba ru'e}?
