We already have that case allowed: {la ci bakni}.

That can mean "the group of three things that I call 'Cow'"
or the one thing that I call 'The Three Cows' (a restaurant, say).

I would say the second reading has to be the predominant one.
For several things with the same name it makes more sense to
use {lo ci me la bakni}.

I changed the definition of {la} accordingly to:
"An inner quantifier can be used in the case of a selbri to
indicate the cardinality of the group or as part of the name."

I didn't do the same change for lai and la'i because in those
cases an actual cardinality seems much more likely.

Anyone against?
