In some contexts {le ka xokaumei/moi}. For example:

            lei plise cu zmadu lei perli le ka ce'u xokaumei
            "The apples exceed the pears in their number."

            lei perli cu zmadu lei plise le ka ce'u xokaumoi
            "The pears exceed the apples in their position."

But it doesn't matter what word you use in English, whether
count, number, enumeration or cardinality. I still think that

            lei va plise cu klani li ci
            "Those apples are three."

is a perfectly reasonable thing to say in Lojban. And I agree that
there are many other ways of saying it or something similar to it.

They are similar, yes.

Well, I would say pamei is to gradu as panomei is to dekto.
