No, no.  That was a serendipitous side effect.  The point of me+sumti+moi
was to allow full math expressions, not just digit strings, as
numerical selbri.  The typical case is me li ny su'i pa mei
'an n+1-some' or me li ny su'i pa moi 'the n+1th'.


Serendipity (nowadays, srilankaosity, I suppose) is the knack of falling on
GOOD things by accident.  Nothing to do with this case. --part1_54.19cc2d84.28b91176_boundary--
