Xiron is being recalcitrant, so I can't check the gi`uste, but
I don't see how this helps, unless the x1 of klani makes clear
whether it can also be filled by a number or not, or by an
quantity of measurement units, or by a du`u, or whatever.

Same goes for li`i: I don't think there's the same confusion
about li`i as there is with jei and ni, but if there were, how
would it help to know that x2 of lifri is a li`i?
