What happens with {su'eci}? Is that "at most three,
possibly none" or "at most three and at least one"?

But that's not how you have defined it. You have the
enumeration as part of what must be satisfied by the group.
For {Q lo broda cu brode} you have:
Ix: x group & xF Iz: z group & xCz z d-G & z is Q of x
There is some group of brodas x, such that there is some
subgroup z among them, such that z are brode and Q in
number.
Your description above ("having found the group we can
then enumerate it") would correspond more to something like
Ix: x group & xF Iz: z group & xCz z d-G &
"the brodes among the brodas are Q in number".
I didn't formalize the second part because it would take me
several lines, but in any case it is outside the scope of
the Ix quantifier.
In other words, is {Q lo broda cu brode}
(1) "Among the brodas, there is at least one group that
is Q in number and brodes"
or
(2) "There's a group among the brodas that brodes.
They, the brodas that brode, are Q in number"
Your definition corresponds to (1), but your talk points to (2).
