How do you say "fifty or sixty people" without repeating "prenu", i.e. connecting only numbers? Also, is there a way to say "the [8 or 9]th day" without repeating "moi"? Thank you.

I think.
>>1524{vei mu no a xa no prenu} looks correct, although jbofi'e rejects it for some reason. (Although strictly speaking, "or" should be {onai}.)Unfortunately, the same trick can't be used with {moi}. (And what's {le'i} doing there?) I think the following is possible: {le me li bi a so me'u moi djedi}; but jbofi'e crashes again. {le bi moi ja so moi djedi} is shorter.

watch out: bare numbers are not sumti, so li bi a so shouldn't work.

>>1523 For "fifty or sixty people" in the sense of "around fifty or sixty people" (which would be the usual sense of "fifty or sixty") I would say "lo muno ji'i xano prenu". Similarly "lo bi ji'i so moi djedi" for "around the 8th or 9th day".In the rare case that a precise logical connective is actually meant then >>1527 should do it.

>>1528 "li (bi a so)" should work, because "bi a so" is a mex, but jbofi'e doesn't seem to be aware that operands can be connected with ".a"

>>1530{lo mu no ji'i xa no prenu} is "five thousand and (approximately) sixty people", according to the CLL. http://jbotcan.org/docs/cll/c18/s9.html{ji'i mu mu} or {mu ji'i mu} might be better, despite the odd appearance. {mu no'o} is another possibility.

>>1536Yet another possibility is {vei ji'i mu no bi'o ji'i xa no prenu}.As for the "(8 or 9)th day" thing, the grammar could use a change here. The rule that says "(number | lerfu-string) MOI" could be changed to "operand-3 MOI". Actually, almost all the places where 'quantifier' and 'number' are referenced could be changed to 'operand-3', I think.
