semisummary: countability

[And Rosta <a.rosta@UCLAN.AC.UK>]

Certain selbri's senses include delimitation criteria,
while others' don't. For example, there is no way to decide
if {su`o re da water ije su`o ci da na water} (djaco? - something
like that) is true, because there are no criteria for deciding what
counts as a single amount of water. But in contrast, the
sense of {valsi} does specify what counts as a single word,
so the truth of {su`o re da valsi ije su`o ci da na valsi}
is decidable.

However, does {valsi} mean (a) "is a single word", or does it
mean (b) "is wordage"?

A test case is whether {pi ro loi ci lo valsi cu valsi}
or {pi ro lei ci valsi cu valsi} makes sense. If it does,
then (b) would be right, and if it doesn't, (a) would
be right.

Both (a) and (b) seem on the face of things to make sense.
Under (a), {re da cu valsi} it would mean "Each of two things
is a single word". Under (b) it would mean "Each of two
things is wordage, and the two things are differentiated from
other individuals by virtue of each being a single word".
