Discussion of "plisytsi"
Comment #1:
New definition.

I just noticed that the first definition “p1=t1 is/are apple seed.” is flawed since you can’t quantify the apple seed anymore. If you say “i mi ponse ci lo plisytsi” it means you possess three times one or more apple seed which could mean you posses three to infinite apple seed, which makes this brivla not really useful. “p1=t1 is a apple seed.” on the other hand, is quantifiable so I prefer this one. Sorry for the trouble! :-/

Wait. Let's take gerku. It doesn't specify the number of dogs.
mi ralte lo gerku can mean "I keep a dog"/"I keep dogs"
To specify number you use either pa lo gerku or za'u lo gerku.

Yes, today I thought about it again and independently came to the conclusion as you. Definition #1 was indeed the better one. Forget about the new definition, it was silly.
