<div class="">I don’t see how to use it grammatically like a
number, or an adjective to apply it to a noun, which is
generally what we want to apply it to.</div>

<p>Who said it's supposed to be used within another complete
sentence?</p>
<p>We have things like <b>wej boq cha'</b><i> two plus three</i>
which aren't themselves used inside other sentences; why should <b>wej
loch cha'</b> do so?</p>
<p>The difference between <b>wej boq cha'</b> and <b>wej loch cha'</b>
is that <b>wej boq cha'</b> has a response: <b>chen vagh.</b> <b>wej
loch cha'</b> has no equivalent response, unless it's <b>chen
pagh vI' jav jav jav 'ej reH taH javmey.</b> But neither form is
directly usable in another sentence, and no one has complained
about <b>wej boq cha'</b> before.</p>
<p>I would not be at all surprised if the way to say <i>two-thirds
of a pie</i> were <b>wej lochbogh cha' chab.</b> But we don't
know that.<br>
