Fuzzy ordinals: one of the largest; among the largest #58

One of the trickier cases related to ordinals are "fuzzy ordinal" expressions such as

For comparison: "Canada is the second largest country."

(c / country
  :mod (l / large
         :degree (m / most
                   :ord (o / ordinal-entity :value 2)))
  :domain (c2 / country :name (n / name :op1 "Canada")))

"Canada is one of the largest countries." -- Idea 1:

(c / country
  :mod (l / large
         :degree (m / most
                   :mod (a / among)))
  :domain (c2 / country :name (n / name :op1 "Canada")))

"Canada is one of the largest countries." -- Idea 2:

(i / include-91
  :ARG1 (c / country :name (n / name :op1 "Canada"))
  :ARG2 (c2 / country
           :mod (l / large
                  :degree (m / most))))

Any thoughts? Any other ideas?

Idea 2 (include-91) is what I would have guessed.

Phone meeting participants all like include-91. OK if :ARG1 is only a single element.
