RE: Cowan on relative clauses

Surely "lo ci mi ctuca" is a bridi meaning "The three of us teach",
not a sumti ("The teacher of the three of us").  <Quantifier> <sumti>
is a sumti-tail in my copy of the grammar, and there doesn't appear
to be any way of quantifying a preposed possessive.

And I would interpret "ciboi mu denmikce" as "Three out of
(a group of) five dentists", something like "There were
five dentists, of whom three ...".

(The inevitable typos:

po -> poi steci
po'e -> poi se ponse

)
