No. {su'u} is the NU equivalent of {lo}: generalized abstractor (= how);
x1 is [bridi] as a non-specific abstraction of type x2

{nu} is "generalized event abstractor; x1 is state/process/achievement= /
activity of [bridi]."
That means, {nu} can stand for each of: {za'i}, {pu'e}, {mu'u},=
{zu'o}, maybe {li'i} (but I doubt that; experience is not an event)= ,
but not for {du'u}, {jei}, {ka}, {ni}, {si'o} and of course {su'= ;u},
which is more general.

Hey, I'm just telling y= ou how it is. I'm not saying that {nu} should be the default, it just h= appens to be that it IS.
