{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.
The thing measured by a ni predicate is the bridi contained in the ni. We've been around this before, as to whether it measures ka bridi (with or without places marked with lambda), and I don't know where everyone else stands these days, and prefer to leave it to byfy to decide.
