Sanity check. Are you saying that {pa fi'u re} is different as an outer
quantifier than {pi mu}?
Are you saying that {pi mu broda} means half of one broda, while {pa fi'u re
broda} means half of all brodas?
If so, why? I thought it was concluded a while ago that outer quantifiers that
don't somehow resolve to an integer don't make sense. (As in, you can't really
say you have 0.5 apples, when what you have is a single half-apple, because
you could also have two half-apples that are different from one apple.)
