RE: [lojban] Re: rupnu

["And Rosta" <a.rosta@dtn.ntl.com>]

How does one talk about measurement units, lengths, monetary
values, etc. in the abstract? That has, how does one talk
about the length 2 metres, as opposed to about things that
are 2 metres in length, in the way that one can talk not
only about remei but also about li re? There must be a
well-known answer to this, but I don't know it, and I
can only think of {ka ce'u mitre/rupnu li re} = "2 
metres/quid", on the presumption that {li re} = {ka
ce'u re mei}.
