Excellent! Excelentisimo!

Let's see now, we can also do {mokau}:

        ko'a djuno ku'au mi mo kau
        she  knows that  I  Qu N.I.F.
        "She knows what I am."

Which expands to:

        ro bu'a zo'u ge da jei zei jei gi ko'a djuno ku'au
        da jei mi bu'a
        "For every F(), there is something that is a truth value and
        that she thinks is the truth value of the proposition F(mi)."

But I can't do {xokau}, because there is no bindable quantifier variable:

        ko'a djuno ku'au mi citka xo kau    plise
        she  knows that  I  eat   Qu N.I.F. apples
        "She knows how many apples I eat."

        "For every q, there is something that is a truth value and
        that she thinks is the truth value of the proposition that
        I eat q apples."

How do we say that in Lojban?
