In my proposal, ji'i does scope to the right, but it cannot appear
between the digits of a number.

When two quantifiers with a range operator (su'o, su'e, za'u, me'i, ji'i)
appear one next to the other, they indicate a number in the common
range. For example:

za'u ci me'i so
more than three less than 9

su'o ci su'e so
between three and nine

ji'i ci ji'i vo
around three or four

When there is no common range, the union of ranges is used instead:

za'u vo me'i vo
more than four less than four
other than four

mu'o mi'e xorxes
