Thanks!
Oops! It was an illegitimate lujvo all along. Ah, well, the message was 
more important than its expression?
I still have my worries about <sumji>, but this is pretty close to regular 
mathematical addition anyhow -- and <jmina> seems to cover the a- (even 
anti-)symmetric cases.
Couldn't the second date given be just that of the publication of the first 
book, since <lei> is implicitly quantified <pisu'o>? The ruling involved 
wants <piro> (or use <le>).
