Hopefully in binary at least, that would at least increase the bound to 31..
That sentence is not difficult at all in my opinion. {.u'i}

Maybe
{ju'o do na skudji lonu ba'e broda}
"Surely you don't mean to say -something unspecified-"
works?

That way you leave the different values for your /X/ up to context.
Honestly speaking, I'm not really sure I understood your english example.
What is it supposed to mean? I can't find a scenario in which the /X/ would
not take a specific value depending on context.
