So reso'a is 28 ~ 29, and so'are is 82 ~ 92. But so'a is a big
number, "many", not 8 ~ 9. I suppose for 8 ~ 9 you'd use
noso'a.
Precisely what I would suggest - anything to force so'a out of standalone
or initial position so there is less question as to the semantics. As
such, and because we have multiple possible interpretations for initial
so'a, I would also use noso'are for
82 ~ 92.
