I assume you mean {mei} rather than {moi}, unless something has
changed from the refgram I have.

{moi} is right: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd,... 17th.

You're right about the sloppy
quantification, but even doing it right I think it is clearer to
have it be a 17-some of {traji} rather than repeating {nanmu} twice:
{ro le xadni clarai be fo nanmu be'o pazemei...}

But only one of them is traji. The other 16 are not traji.
Only one is 1st, but all of them are "(up to 17)-th".
