I disagree.  Every measureable object has ka clani fi da.  Otherwise you could
not say that another object was clanymau it (zmadu fi leka/ni clani).  To
be less in ka/ni clani, it must still have a number/measure; otherwise
one cannot make a comparison - the proper answer would be na'i to a question
like "Is an atom longer than a neutrino", just as it would be to "Am I taller
than a thought?".
