{klani} relates "measured"-"measurement"-"scale".

x2 of {ni} is a scale. x1 of {ni} must then be the measurement, 
because having places for the measured thing and for the
scale, but none for the measurement seems strange. I suppose
then that the measured thing must somehow be glorked from the 
bridi and the context.

Exactly. And so is {li muno}, which is what you had first as the
x1 of niltei. But then you said you could equally well have 
{lo nanca be li muno} there, the measured thing instead of the
measurement.
