I'm not sure what we are disagreeing about. I didn't say it was in the
quantifier, I said it was induced by quantifiers.

In any case, as And pointed out it can't be just any quantity or it
would always quantify to "ci'i", so it has to be a contextually
relevant quantity, be it a puddle, a glass, a bottle, a bucket, a
drop, a measure, a body of water. We can either make it explicit ("ci
dirgo be lo djacu") or leave it implicit ("ci djacu").
