 Toaq is based on such logic:
-* When you say {{t|tu pỏq}}, the domain ranged over by the variable {{t|póq}} is not only each person, but all “people-s”, including all pairs and triples and groups of people. (If this is undesirable, there's {{t|tushı}}, which only ranges over singular values. See [[Quantifier]].)
+* When you say {{t|sá poq}}, the domain ranged over by the variable {{t|póq}} is not only that of each individual person, but of all “people-s”, including all pairs and triples and groups of people. (If this is undesirable, there's {{t|sá shı poq}}, which only ranges over singular values. See [[Quantifier]].)
-* In fact, numbers in Toaq have definitions like “{{t|saq}}: ___ (plural) are three in number.”
