Robin's gadri Proposal
In keeping with my view that gadri are not ready yet, I suggest that this solution is premature (though cute). We have been directed toward considering plurality more carrefully. I suggest the same might be said for goo, which can, in Lojban, be viewed as a kind of collective, and one that can take numeration: "three teaspoons of salt" or, more clearly, "two cups of water." Of course it is not clear where these numerations go, but the "this is in cups number two of water" does not seem the best solution.

I think I agree with what you say there.
You don't say what you would do with inner PA's, but I think
inner {tu'o} is enough to indicate that you are dealing with
non-count stuff, and inner {su'o} clearly indicates countables
when you need to.
