I would say "things that" instead of "a set of things that", but ok.

and no more than two other things...

At least three and at most three.

"A are three iff A are at least three and at most three."

The internal "quantifier" tells which N-mei predicate the referents of
the sumti satisfy. So if the internal "quantifier" is "ci", the
referents of that sumti satisfy "cimei".
