With regards to {vlakemlerpoi}, I just don't like much the fact that the alphabet comes before the word itself in the place structure, but I understand your motivation to make it parallel to the veljvo components. An alternative proposal would be to have for {vlakemlerpoi} just "x1 is a spelling of word x2." and let the other admittedly possibly relevant place(s) be added as modals. Or we could leave the other places at the end, preserving parallelism as much as possible: "x1 is a spelling of word x2 meaning x3 in language x4, alphabet x5." What do you people think? mu'o mi'e .asiz.
