At a bit of a tangent:=  I looked up ki'e in jbovlaste, and saw it's defined as:

vocative: thanks - no= thanks to you.

I've seen this sort of thing in many other places (in jbovlaste), and= never understand exactly the intended meaning is.  Could someone ple= ase clarify for me whether ki'e means "thanks" or "no thanks to you", or= if I'm just completely misunderstanding?


This is indeed common in jbovlaste, and it's a flaw I would like= to see removed, preferably by simply expanding the entry to indicate whic= h part of the definition is meant and how to obtain the other meanings, i.= e., by mentioning "cu'i" and "nai".
