OK, so there's {dai}.  {.ui dai} means "you are happy, and I am also
happy along with you".

What I routinely find myself wanting to say to the babies is things
like {.o'u [you should be feeling this]}.  Something like a UI
equivalent of {ko surla}, or {ko gleki}, or whatever.

Obviously, I can just *say* {ko surla}, but I find myself, in the
flow of Lojban, really *wanting* to use the UI cmavo for this
purpose.

Similarily, I also want {.oi [I see that you are feeling this; I'm
not myself, but I observe it in you]}.  Which, again, {za'a do
dunku}, but when I'm in the flow speaking Lojban, I want a UI for
it.

I don't know why I have these urges, but I thought I'd throw them
out in case other people feel similarily and maybe think it's worth
playing with a couple of experimental cmavo for it.  As usual, I
probably won't be following the thread.
