mmm, I see what you're saying.  but is it right to have the numbers after the things that they are quantifying like that?  At first I thought that the piromei was quantifying how much "joi kelci" there was.

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", but what you actually said
is "All workers and no players..." and then the grammar is messed up. It's
Jack who is working and not playing, and "Jack" is used as a generic name. So
how about this:

lo nu gunka piromei joi kelci nomei cu rinka lo nu na cinri
