"half a man, of the ten men that I'm talking about".

What's the difference between that and "pimu lei pano nanmu"?

That would be "half of the group of ten men that I'm talking about".
The difference is that in the first case the referents of the phrase
are men, whereas in the second case the referent is the group.
