There's a problem with the glosser, then. But {dei} in that case
would be "this sentence", not "day":  "K, this sentence?"

I suppose it's not obvious, but it does make some kind of sense:
1, 2, 3, ... all; first, second, third, ... last. I'm not sure I can get 
"every one in turn" from it.

Yes, a number in front of a selbri makes it into a sumti, just as if
there was a {lo}. {ro lanzu} is by definition the same as {ro lo lanzu}.
